Laval police have confirmed the 38-year-old man who was found lying in the middle of the road early Wednesday morning was the victim of a hit-and-run.
Officers were called to the scene on Marcel-Villeneuve Ave after a 29-year-old man ran over the body.
Following an analysis investigators have determined the victim was hit by another vehicle earlier in the night, and at high enough speeds that it would have likely caused significant damage to the front end of the offending vehicle.
Laval police are asking anyone who sees a vehicle with similar damage, or with information about the case to contact its Info-Line at 450-662-INFO (4636) or by calling 9-1-1.
