Child Struck by Vehicle in Southeast Calgary
Calgary police are investigating after a child was struck by a vehicle in the southeast part of the city on Friday afternoon. The incident occurred in the community of Douglasdale, near Douglas Glen Boulevard and 114 Avenue S.E., at approximately 1:30 p.m. local time.
Emergency crews responded to the scene and transported the child to hospital in serious but stable condition, according to EMS. The driver of the vehicle remained at the scene and is cooperating with investigators.
Police have closed a section of Douglas Glen Boulevard for collision reconstruction and are asking drivers to avoid the area. No charges have been laid at this time, and the investigation is ongoing.
