Edmonton police say a 5-year-old boy has died after being hit by a vehicle Monday morning in northwest Edmonton.

EPS says around 10 a.m., officers responded to a report that a woman had hit a child while trying to leave the parking lot of a residential complex in the McConachie neighbourhood.

It is believed that at the same time as the woman was leaving the parking lot, a 5-year-old was running eastbound on the sidewalk and fell.

Police say the 25-year-old driver called 9-1-1 immediately, and the 5-year-old was taken to a hospital by paramedics, where he later died.

EPS does not believe speed or alcohol was a factor, and an investigation is ongoing.

Anyone who may have any information is asked to contact police at 780-423-4567 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.
