12-Yr-Old Hospitalized After Collision

January 18, 2012

[Updated] A 12-year-old boy is hospitalized after being struck by a truck last night [Jan.17] on North Shore.

A police spokesperson said, “Around 5:40pm on Tuesday January 17th, police received a report of a collision. It appears that a truck was travelling along North Shore Road, Pembroke when a collision occurred with a pedestrian near the junction with Church Lane.

“The victim, a six year old Pembroke boy was conveyed to KEMH via ambulance and treated for his injuries. He is currently in stable condition on a general ward.

“Inquiries into this incident are ongoing. Officers have already received reports from several people who were in the area at the time and encourage any other witnesses to contact PC Emmerson Donald on 295-0011.”

Update  5.01pm: After the comments made below, we checked with the Police who stated that the initial police report was incorrect, and the victim is not 6 — he is 12 — so we have amended the title to reflect that.
