A five-year-old girl was killed Saturday evening when she was struck by an STM bus.
The child was hit by the bus as it turned left from Sherbrooke St. E onto Honore-Beaugrand St. near the Honore-Beaugrand metro station.
"The young girl was with her family when it happened," said Montreal police Const. Anie Lemieux. "She was quickly taken to hospital where unfortunately she was declared dead shortly after her arrival."
Several witnesses, as well as the bus driver, were taken to hospital to be treated for shock.
Collision investigators are inspecting the scene of the incident.
"Is it possible that the driver of the bus did not see the young child? Possibly. Is it the kid that was running in front of the bus or something like that? It's possible also," said Lemieux.
