MONTREAL – The traffic control worker seriously injured last week in a hit-and-run at a roadwork site in Montreal’s east end has died.
Montreal police say the 39-year-old man died on Monday.
He was sent to hospital in critical condition after a vehicle drove into the roadwork site near the intersection of Industriel and Saint-Jean-Baptiste boulevards at around 10:20 p.m. on July 12.
The driver who allegedly caused the fatal collision surrendered to authorities later that week.
A second worker, also a 39-year-old man, suffered minor injuries.
Montreal police say their investigation is ongoing.
