A child suffered serious injuries when struck in a northeast Calgary roadway on Wednesday afternoon.

According to police, the incident happened just before 4:30 p.m. in the 100 block of Castleridge Drive N.E.

Calgary Fire says multiple 911 calls came in.

Firefighters arrived to find “one young child patient was lying on the ground.”

Fire says the child “was reported to have been hit by a vehicle travelling on the roadway.”

Police say the child was rushed to the Alberta Children’s Hospital “with serious injuries.”

EMS confirms the child’s injuries were considered “serious” at the time of transport.

A message from police later Wednesday evening said the child had minor injuries and was in stable condition.

The driver of the vehicle that struck the child remained at the scene, police say, and investigation into what exactly occurred is ongoing.

Traffic delays were said to be expected in the area after the collision.
