The accident happened around 4:30 pm at the corner of Jaffa Street and Lisbon Boulevard near Saint-Rose Boulevard.
Two men in a white Range Rover crashed into another vehicle and fled. The driver of the Honda Civic succumbed to his injuries.
The 25-year-old man was accused of hit-and-run and driving, but despite everything, his father decided to protect him.
“He stopped himself in front of another guy that came out of nowhere, my boy didn’t do a hit and run,” said the accused’s father, Daniel Marchant. “He didn’t run.”
Within an hour of the impact, Andrew Marchant called 9-1-1 to surrender to authorities. Investigators had reason to believe he was unfit to drive.
It was the 5th fatal hit in Quebec in at least three weeks.
