Police say a three-year-old boy was killed, and his sister and mother were injured, after being struck by a pickup truck in southwest Edmonton Thursday evening.
The Edmonton Police Service says the family was crossing Allard Road SW, using a marked crosswalk, when they were hit by a truck that was turning left. It happened shortly after 5 p.m.
Edmonton police say the Ford F-150 truck, being driven by a 30-year-old man, was going north on Allard Road SW when it “stopped quickly” at a three-way stop at Allard Boulevard SW before making the left, hitting the family.
The boy died on scene. The 39-year-old mother and seven-year-old girl were taken to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries, according to EPS.
Police say the driver of the F-150 remained on scene and was not injured.
Investigators with the EPS Major Collision Investigations Section (MCIS) do not believe speed or alcohol were factors in the fatal collision.
