A one-year-old baby died Wednesday after being struck by a vehicle in a Kamloops driveway, police say.
A large police presence was visible on the North Shore on Wednesday afternoon when police responded to a report of a motor vehicle incident involving a baby.
Kamloops RCMP were called to the 1500 block of Ord Road to assist ambulance with a one-year-old baby who appeared to have been struck by a vehicle in a driveway.
“The baby was transported to hospital with critical injuries, but sadly did not survive,” RCMP Cpl. Crystal Evelyn said in a news release.
Evelyn said the serious crime unit is assisting officers in the ongoing investigation because the report involved the death of a child.
The BC Coroners Service is conducting a concurrent investigation as well.
Mounties are asking anyone who witnessed or has information related to the investigation to contact Kamloops RCMP at 250-828-3000.
