A 10-year-old girl is in hospital with serious injuries after being run over by a car while trying to cross the street.
The girl was walking with a friend on Grand Boulevard at Eighth Street just after 1 p.m. Wednesday when the collision happened.
"She stepped off the curb. .. The vehicle was making a left-hand turn and struck her in the pedestrian crosswalk," said Cpl. Richard De Jong, North Vancouver RCMP spokesman. "She was taken to (B.C. Children's Hospital) with major but not life-threatening injuries. She has a broken arm and broken pelvis by the looks of it."
Despite the serious nature of the collision, it does not appear the woman driving the vehicle was at fault, De Jong said.
"We're still investigating but it's not likely that we'll be charging the driver. It seems like an accident more than anything."
