A female pedestrian has died after she was hit by a truck in Côte-des-Neiges Wednesday morning.

Police say the 25-year-old woman was hit by a pickup truck at the corner of Décarie Boulevard and Jean-Talon Street, near Namur Metro station, around 5:30 a.m.

Const. Benoît Boisselle said it appears the truck was travelling westbound on Jean-Talon and was turning right to head north on Décarie.

​The collision occurred a few metres north of the intersection, he said.

The accident happened around 5:30 a.m. (Simon-Marc Charron/Radio-Canada) Urgences-Santé spokesman François Labelle said when the woman arrived at the hospital, she had no pulse.

Police say she was pronounced dead shortly afterward.

The driver, a 60-year-old man, was treated for shock at the scene. He is being questioned.

Boisselle said all hypotheses are being examined, including whether the woman was jaywalking, whether the driver turned on a red light and if rain falling at the time had an impact on visibility.

Décarie northbound at Jean-Talon as well as the Jean-Talon exit off the Décarie Expressway were closed for a time for the police investigation, but have since reopened.
