Police are not releasing many details at this time but the child was hit at the intersection of Torquay and Ash Road at 8:16 a.m.

Witnesses say the child was in the crosswalk on the way to school.

In a letter sent home to parents from Arbutus Middle School, the child is identified as Grade 6 student Laila Bui.

The school offered counselling support to any student or staff member.

Two cars were at the intersection at the time of the collision but police believe the child was hit by only one of the cars.

The drivers of both vehicles were interviewed by police.

Ash Road is currently closed from Magestic Drive to Tyndall Avenue.
