A nine-year-old girl has died in hospital after the vehicle she was in was struck by a driver in a stolen vehicle fleeing from police.
Calgary police said the child was one of four people taken to hospital in life-threatening condition following a multi-vehicle crash at Southland Drive and Macleod Trail S. on Thursday.
Three victims of the crash, including the deceased, were identified by a family friend who established a GoFundMe to help out.
They are identified as Amanda Reitmeier, her 12-year-old daughter Madison and nine-year-old Victoria.
Zara Wishloff, president of APD Motor Parts Distributors, where Reitmeier works, organized the fundraiser.
Wishloff said Reitmeier has worked for them for more than 10 years, and he knows her children.
"Her daughters were in here very often, and everyone here knows them, so the news is quite tragic," he told CTV News in an interview on Friday.
