Laval police are looking for this gray Hyundai Accent car produced between 2007 and 2010.
His father Stéphane Taillon had just gone to drive his spouse to work, to go to his, when the tragedy occurred, around 8 a.m.
A collision occurred and the 53-year-old man then got out of his vehicle. For some unknown reason, the insurance broker was deliberately hit by the other motorist, who fled after the impact. The hypothesis favored by the authorities is an episode of road rage.
“Several investigators are on the case, we are putting all our energies into finding the suspect vehicle,” said Érika Landry, spokesperson for the Laval police department.
