Montreal police are looking for a red Toyota Corolla after a 51-year-old man was struck and killed early Sunday morning near the corner of St-Denis and Gilford streets in Montreal.

Around 3:15 a.m, witnesses say a vehicle was travelling southbound on St-Denis when it hit a pedestrian who was jaywalking across the street.

"After the impact, the suspect's vehicle fled the scene," said Montreal police Sgt. Daniel Lacoursière.

Police say the red vehicle sustained damage to its front bumper.

The victim has not yet been identified and the body has been handed over to the coroner's office.

Police are reviewing surveillance video as part of their ongoing investigation.
