A three-year-old girl has died after being struck by a ute in Brisbane‘s north as emotional locals recall the distressing scene.
The toddler, who has not been identified, was hit by a ute as the driver turned right at the intersection of Lynnfield Drive and Tui Street about 6.45pm on Tuesday.
It’s understood the girl was walking with her mum, grandmother and brother. The three-year-old sustained critical injuries and died at the scene.
Police said the driver of the Nissan Navara, a 49-year-old local woman, was taken to Caboolture Hospital suffering emotional distress.
Her view of the road may have been obstructed by a bus, 9News reports.
