Toddler in critical condition after being hit by vehicle in Amherstburg

A three-year-old is fighting for their life after being struck by a vehicle on Monday.

Windsor police's Amherstburg detachment says first responders were called at around 6 p.m. to Vermont Drive near Indiana Place.

Officers were told that someone turning their vehicle into a house struck the toddler while they were playing in the driveway.

The child was rushed to a Windsor hospital with injuries that were at first believed to be non-life-threatening. Their condition was soon updated to critical, and they were airlifted to a hospital in London.

Members of the Windsor Police Collision Reconstruction Unit have continued working to determine what happened.

Anyone who witnessed the incident or who has security or dashcam footage to share should contact the Windsor police Amherstburg detachment's Criminal Investigations Division at (519) 736-8559, extension 230.
