An 11-year-old boy died after he was hit by a truck Monday evening in Montreal's Plateau-Mont-Royal borough.
Police say they received numerous calls at around 7:30 p.m. about the collision at the corner of Parc and Bernard avenues.
Early information collected by police indicates the driver was heading south down Parc when he turned right on Bernard and struck the boy, who was crossing the street.
The child suffered serious injuries and was transported to hospital where he died.
The 28-year-old male driver of the delivery truck was uninjured.
He remained at the scene and was questioned, and police say the investigation is continuing.
Mayor Valérie Plante extended her sympathy to the child's family on the social media platform X and urged Montrealers to drive carefully.
"Protecting the most vulnerable on our roads is everyone's business," she wrote.
