The five-year-old was declared dead at the scene, while the four other children and the adult were sent to hospital with injuries.
STARS Air Ambulance said it was initially dispatched but later stood down enroute by EMS on scene, as the service was not medically required.
RCMP said the driver of the truck was not hurt.
Police did not say whether charges are being considered as they continue to investigate.
