Police say charges are pending after a boy was killed and his mother and sister were injured in a crash in south Edmonton on Thursday.
According to police, they were walking east across Allard Road SW in a marked crosswalk on the south side of its intersection with Allard Boulevard SW when a truck turning west struck them around 5 p.m.
The Ford F-150 driver had been heading north when they "briefly" stopped at the three-way stop and continued turning left, running over the boy and hitting the 39-year-old woman and seven-year-old girl, investigators said.
The boy died on scene.
The woman and girl were taken to hospital and released later Thursday.
The 30-year-old man behind the wheel of the truck was not hurt. He remained at the scene.
Police do not believe speed or alcohol were factors.
