A large police presence was visible on the North Shore yesterday afternoon, for a report of a motor vehicle incident involving a baby.

On Sept. 6, 2023, around 4:50 p.m., Kamloops RCMP frontline officers were called to the 1500-block of Ord Road to assist ambulance with a one-year-old baby who appeared to have been struck by a vehicle in a driveway.

The baby was transported to hospital with critical injuries, but sadly did not survive, said Corporal Crystal Evelyn, Kamloops RCMP Detachment spokesperson.

As the report involves the death of a child, the Serious Crime Unit is assisting frontline officers in the ongoing investigation. The BC Coroners Service is conducting a concurrent investigation as well.

Anyone who witnessed or has information that may be related and has not yet shared it with police, is asked to please contact the Kamloops RCMP Detachment at 250-828-3000 and reference file 2023-32329.
