OAKVILLE – Halton Regional Police says an eight-year-old girl died after a car struck two pedestrians in Oakville.
Police were called in Thursday afternoon for a report of a serious motor vehicle collision on North Service Road West, west of Lindsay Drive, where two people travelling on foot were hit.
The Halton Regional Police Service says a man was driving a Lexus SUV when it left the roadway on the north side and struck a 39-year-old female pedestrian and her eight-year-old daughter.
Both victims were transported to a local hospital and later to trauma centres, but despite lifesaving efforts, the girl succumbed to her injuries.
As a result, the 47-year-old driver from Oakville has been arrested and charged with dangerous operation of a conveyance causing death.
The Collision Reconstruction Unit has taken over the investigation, and police ask anyone with information related to the incident to contact them.
This report by The Canadian Press was first published Nov. 7, 2025.
