Edmonton police are investigating a tragic incident that claimed the life of a five-year-old boy in the city’s northeast on Monday morning.
Investigators say a Jeep Cherokee was leaving the parking lot of a residential complex when the child, who was running along a nearby sidewalk, fell and was struck by the vehicle. Emergency responders transported the boy to hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
Police say neither speed nor alcohol are believed to have contributed to the crash. The Edmonton Police Service’s major collisions unit continues to investigate the circumstances surrounding the incident.
The tragedy has renewed calls in several Edmonton communities for greater pedestrian safety measures near residential complexes and school zones.
