The incident occurred late Saturday afternoon. The woman was critically injured.

Several 911 calls were made about the collision, which took place on Henri-Bourassa Blvd. near the intersection with Salk Ave. at about 5:50 p.m., said Montreal police spokesperson Johany Charland.
The bus, which was facing west, had stopped at a bus stop to let passengers board when the SUV, which was behind it, struck its rear on the driver’s side.
A security perimeter was set up on Saturday evening as police investigators examined the scene to better understand the causes and circumstances of the collision and interviewed witnesses. They were also to review nearby surveillance cameras as part of the investigation, which continues.
