Vancouver police said the child was standing on the sidewalk with her father and siblings around 11 a.m. when two vehicles collided and went over the curb. “We believe the young lady with her father and siblings were waiting to cross the road and at the same time, two vehicles collided at the intersection,” said VPD spokesman Sgt. Steve Addison told CBC News. Addison said the force of the collision sent the vehicles over the curb, striking the girl. Attack men rushed to the scene and the child was taken to the hospital. pic.twitter.com/QrZ9rtFuXJ —@VancouverPD There were no other life-threatening injuries, according to police. The drivers remained at the scene and were later taken to hospital with minor injuries. Images from the scene show a damaged jeep and a car parked on the curb. Addison told CBC the two vehicles were a Nissan and a Mercedes. Police said they will conduct a full investigation, including speaking to witnesses, the father and the drivers involved to reconstruct the collision. “While we still don’t have a full understanding of what happened, it’s obviously a tragic chain of events that led to the injury of this little girl,” Addison said. “Our hearts really go out to her and her family and everyone affected by this.” Anyone with information is asked to contact the VPD Collision Investigation Unit at 604-717-3012.
