An 8-year-old girl is dead after being struck by a vehicle in Oakville.

Police in Halton Region say just before 4 p.m. Thursday, an SUV driven by a 47-year-old man was going westbound on North Service Road West, west of Lindsay Drive, when it left the roadway and struck a 39-year-old woman and her daughter.

Both were taken to a local hospital before being transferred to trauma centres; however, despite lifesaving measures, the child was pronounced dead. The mother’s injuries are considered non-life-threatening.

A police spokesperson told 680 NewsRadio it’s believed the mother was on her way to a nearby daycare centre to pick up her toddler when the collision occurred.

Investigators say the driver of the SUV has been charged with dangerous operation of a conveyance causing death.

Police are asking any witnesses or anyone with dashcam footage of the incident to contact them as the investigation is ongoing.
