An SPVM spokesperson said the crash occurred around 6:40 a.m. on Papineau Avenue near Malo Avenue.

“Police received several calls reporting the collision. Officers assisted the victim, a 27-year-old woman, who had suffered head trauma but was conscious.”

The victim’s life is now considered out of danger, according to the SPVM.
