A seven-year-old girl is in the hospital after she was struck by a car on Matchete Road on Wednesday afternoon.
LaSalle Police investigators said she and some schoolmates had just gotten off the school bus on Kenwood Boulevard and were walking home when the girl suddenly darted across Matchete Road.
Police say the driver tried to swerve to avoid the collision, but the girl ran into the passenger side and was thrown to the ground.
The girl was taken to the hospital to be treated for her injuries.
The road was closed for several hours while police investigated.
Police are asking anyone who may have information that may assist in this investigation or requires Victim Services to contact the LaSalle Police Service at 519 969-5210.
