“Despite a pretty hard impact, the child did not suffer life-threatening injuries. She was taken to hospital and will likely be sore for a while,” a statement from police reads.
The driver is cooperating with police and the VPD is still investigating all the circumstances of what happened, but say it’s unlikely the weather was a factor.
