The Service de police de la Ville de Montréal (SPVM) has opened a search for two unidentified individuals accused of colliding with a jet ski on Lac des Deux Montagnes and leaving the scene in early August 2026. The incident, described as a water‑based hit‑and‑run, occurred on the lake that borders the city of Montreal and the surrounding region of Quebec.
According to the police report, the suspects were operating a boat when they struck a jet ski. After the collision, the boat continued on the water without stopping to assist or to remain at the scene. The SPVM confirmed that the two people involved in the collision have not been identified, and their identities remain unknown to the public.
Law enforcement officials have indicated that the investigation is focused on determining the circumstances that led to the impact and on locating the boat and its occupants. The police are reviewing surveillance footage, witness statements and any available electronic data from the watercraft involved. The search for the suspects is ongoing, and officers are conducting patrols on Lac des Deux Montagnes as part of the effort to locate the individuals and the boat used in the incident.
The lake, a popular recreational area for boating and jet‑skiing, draws many visitors during the summer months. The SPVM emphasized that any interference with a watercraft that results in injury or damage is taken seriously, and that the department will continue to pursue the responsible parties.
The investigation remains active, and the police have not released further details about potential charges or the status of any victims. Updates will be provided as more information becomes available through the course of the inquiry.
