A toddler is dead after being hit by a vehicle outside her home in northeast Calgary on Monday night.

Emergency crews were called to Taradale Drive NE near Taravista Way around 6:55 p.m. for reports of a young child being hit by a vehicle.

Calgary police say a white truck was driving through a back alley when the driver made a right turn and hit a two-year-old girl who was in the alleyway behind her house.

The girl was rushed to the Alberta Children’s Hospital in critical condition and eventually died from her injuries.

The driver, a man in his 30s, was not hurt and remained at the scene.

The investigation into the cause of the crash is ongoing, but police say alcohol and drugs are not factors.

Anyone with additional information is being asked to call police at 403-266-1234, or submit tips anonymously to CrimeStoppers.
