A four-year-old child is dead after a crash just east of Lethbridge Wednesday afternoon.
The collision happened at the intersection of Range Road 21-1 and Township Road 8-4, just north of Highway 4.
Police said a car heading north on Range Road 21-1 failed to stop at the intersection of Brown Road and hit an SUV on Township Road 8-4.
The female driver of the SUV was taken to Chinook Regional Hospital as a precaution. No one else was in the vehicle.
The driver of the car, who is the mother of the four-year old victim, was taken to hospital with another child passenger. Both suffered minor injuries.
