Police investigating a near miss incident in Smithers

Smithers RCMP are seeking witnesses after a child was nearly hit by a vehicle.

The incident occurred last week (Oct. 21st), at the intersection of Toronto Street and Highway 16.

According to police, a dark older model pickup truck was turning left onto the highway when its side mirror clipped the child’s backpack.

“Drivers are asked to stay attentive and focused on the road at all times. A split second distraction can lead to serious consequences on the road,” said Sgt. Ryan Law.

Those who witnessed the incident are asked to contact the Smithers detachment.
