Samaritan helps child hit by car

North Okanagan RCMP are looking for the person who helped a child after the youngster was clipped by a car in an Amstrong intersection last month.

The incident took place on Thursday, Jan. 25. About 3 p.m., a child was walking through the intersection of Rosedale Avenue and Pleasant Valley Road when a black passenger car clipped their backpack as it drove through the intersection.

“The incident was brought to our attention several days after it had occurred,” said RCMP spokesman Const. Chris Terleski.

“No suspects have been identified in the investigation, however, we believe a person may have assisted the child and witnessed the event, and are asking for that person to contact us.”

If you witnessed the incident or were travelling in the area at the time and have dashcam video, contact Const. Donovan Warnes at the North Okanagan RCMP at 250-838-6818.
