Montreal police said the accused allegedly struck the two pedestrians at high speed shortly after 1 a.m. before fleeing the scene, first in his vehicle and then on foot.
Two people were killed in a hit and run in Montreal's northern Ahuntsic-Cartierville borough early Monday, police say. A man was arrested and taken to hospital.
Police spokesperson Véronique Dubuc said witnesses reported the woman was gripping onto the roof of the car for several metres before she fell and the driver left the scene.
A 39-year-old man who was critically injured in a hit-and-run collision while working at a paving site in Montreal's east end last week has died of his injuries in hospital.
