Two people, including a child, were taken to hospital after being struck by a vehicle shortly after midnight.

Emergency crews were called to the intersection of Carpasian Road and Long Pond Road at about 1:00 a.m. Sunday morning. Reports from the scene indicate a family of four were returning from a New Year’s social gathering when two of the pedestrians were struck by a passing vehicle as they crossed the road. Both individuals, a mother and child, were taken to hospital with injuries believed to be minor in nature.
