An 11-year-old child has died after being hit by a truck in Montreal's Plateau-Mont-Royal borough.
The incident took place on Monday at around 7:30 p.m. near the corner of Parc and Bernard avenues.
According to police information, the driver was turning right onto Bernard Avenue and hit the child while they were crossing the street.
The child was stuck under the vehicle and eventually rushed to hospital, where the death was confirmed.
As of Monday night, police were still investigating the circumstances of the incident.

With its emergency shelter beds frequently running at 50 per cent over capacity and demand so great that it's forced to refer some women escaping domestic violence elsewhere, Gillian's Place in St. Catharines will soon be able to offer a broader range of services to more victims of gender-based violence.
