Police said a two-year-old boy was “extremely lucky” to have only suffered minor injuries after being struck by a vehicle in a residential area of Pemberton last week.
In a release, RCMP said they responded to the accident in the 2000 block of Tiyata Boulevard at about 6:30 p.m. on July 21, and eventually learned the boy had ran onto the street when he was hit.
The driver of the vehicle was issued a violation ticket for driving without due care.
“Cpl. [Nate] Miller is urging the public to slow down while driving through residential neighbourhoods,” the release said. “It only takes a spilt second for a child to run into the street.”
Anyone who observes concerning motorist activity is asked to contact the Whistler RCMP’s non-emergency line at 604-932-3044.
