A three-year-old boy is dead after he was run over by a pickup truck in northern Alberta.
RCMP say the child was struck early Monday evening in the parking lot of some baseball diamonds in Swan Hills and died later in hospital.
“This incident is extremely tragic to the family, the community, and to the members and first aiders on scene,” Sgt. Dean Purcka said. “No one ever wants to investigate a case like this. Our condolences go out to the family.”
Police say the driver of the pickup truck didn’t immediately know what had happened but did return to the scene.
