The Service de police de la Ville de Montréal (SPVM) has opened a search for two individuals suspected of causing a collision on Lac des Deux Montagnes earlier this month. The incident, which took place at the start of August 2026, involved a boat striking a personal watercraft, specifically a jet ski, on the lake’s busy waterways.
According to the police report, the unidentified boat operator and a passenger are believed to have been responsible for the impact that damaged the jet ski. The SPVM confirmed that both participants in the boat are now subjects of a hit‑and‑run investigation. Authorities have not released the names or any further identifying information about the suspects, but they have issued a public appeal for anyone with relevant observations.
Lac des Deux Montains, situated near Montreal, is a popular destination for recreational boating and water‑sports during the summer season. The collision prompted an immediate response from local emergency services, who attended to the jet ski rider and secured the scene. While the exact condition of the jet ski occupant has not been disclosed, the police statement emphasized that the incident warranted a full criminal investigation.
Investigators are reviewing surveillance footage from nearby marinas and speaking with witnesses who may have seen the boat’s movements before and after the impact. The SPVM has asked recreational users of the lake to remain vigilant and report any details that could assist in locating the two suspects.
The ongoing inquiry underscores the importance of adhering to safety regulations on shared waterways. Police have reiterated that any failure to stop after a collision is treated as a serious offense under Quebec law. The SPVM continues to work with local authorities and maritime officials to bring the case to a resolution.
Anyone with information about the incident or the individuals involved is encouraged to contact the Montreal police department as the investigation proceeds.
