MONTRÉAL – A five-year-old boy has died after he was hit by a heavy truck in Carleton-sur-Mer, in Quebec’s Gaspé region.
Provincial police spokesperson Frédéric Deshaies says the collision happened at around 5 p.m. Monday, on private property.
The truck was leaving the property to merge onto a public road when it reportedly struck the child, who was riding a small toy-style ATV.
The young boy was pronounced dead at the scene.
Investigators have met with the truck driver, who is a man in his 50s.
Deshaies says there’s no indication that drugs or alcohol were a factor.
