A child was taken to hospital after being hit by a pickup truck in Fort St. John Monday.
Mounties say that at 3:19 pm, officers responded to a report of collision involving a child riding a bike.
“A child was riding a bicycle at the intersection of 116th Ave and 86th Street when a pickup truck, making a right-hand turn onto 86th Street stuck the cyclist,” said Cpl. Madonna Saunderson, RCMP Media Relations Officer.
