A five-year-old girl has been critically injured in an accident in the Kitsilano neighbourhood of Vancouver Wednesday.

Vancouver police said the girl was standing with her father and siblings waiting to cross the road at Cornwall Avenue and Arbutus Street when two vehicles collided in the intersection. The crash caused the vehicles to mount the sidewalk and strike the girl.

It appears one of the vehicles was making a left turn at the time, police said.
