RCMP are now saying that a young child who was struck by a vehicle in a driveway east of Steinbach Sunday evening has passed away.

Just before 8pm on Sunday, Steinbach RCMP were called to a scene where a two-year-old female child was struck by a vehicle, driven by a 62-year-old male, in her own driveway. Police say she was transported to the hospital where she later succumbed to her injuries. The investigation is ongoing but RCMP say speed and alcohol are not considered factors.
