They said he believed his passenger had walked behind the car, but she had actually walked in front of the car and the driver couldn’t stop in time.
There was a snowbank in the girl’s path, meaning she couldn’t move out of the way, and she was struck and fell to the ground.
She was taken to hospital with non-life threatening injuries, and police say the driver wasn’t ticketed given the circumstances.
