An 11 year old pedestrian was taken to the Alberta Children's Hospital after being hit by a truck on Tuesday, June 28th.

A child was riding her bicycle and eventually crossed the intersection of Edwards Way and 1st Avenue in Airdrie when she was struck by a 20 year old male driving a Dodge Ram pickup.

She was not wearing a helmet at the time of the accident, and was taken to hospital with minor injuries.

The driver of the vehicle was issued a ticket, for failing to yield to a pedestrian in an intersection.

Police do not believe alcohol or speed to be a factor in the incident at this time.
