A toddler has died after being hit by a car north of Brisbane while walking with her family.

The three-year-old girl was walking with her mother, grandmother and a sibling when she was struck by a Nissan Navarra on the corner of Lynfield Dr and Toohey St in Caboolture about 6.47pm on Tuesday.

Emergency services rushed to the scene with paramedics treating the girl for critical injuries, however, she was unable to be saved and declared dead a short time later.

Queensland Ambulance Service said two women, aged in their 20s and 40s, along with a male toddler, were taken to Caboolture Hospital in stable condition, suffering from emotional distress.

The driver of the ute, a 49-year-old Caboolture woman, remained on scene and is assisting police.

Investigators are examining whether the toddler may have run onto the road, but believe the collision was a tragic accident.

Floral tributes and teddy bears have begun to be laid at the site of the crash on Wednesday morning.

Locals told 7NEWS they heard “harrowing and heartbreaking screams” in the area last night after the accident.

Resident Kevin Taylor said he was at the scene and saw a woman clutching a child to her chest.

“It was sad — she was distraught, very, very distraught,” he said.

Taylor said a bus may have obstructed the view of the ute as the driver turned from Linfield Dr onto Toohey St.

Anyone with information, CCTV or dashcam of the incident is urged to contact police.
