A Vancouver Island driver accused of hitting a four-year-old girl on her bike is in even more trouble after police checked his record.
Westshore RCMP say the girl was riding along a street in Langford, B.C., when she veered from the curb onto the roadway and was hit by a passing Mazda.
The girl has serious but not life-threatening injuries and was taken to hospital after the crash last Thursday.

The 37-year-old driver remained at the scene. Police say they learned he had been prohibited from driving because of being unlicensed and impaired.
Mounties say in a statement they obtained a breath sample and while the man did have alcohol in his system, it was under the legal limit.
He was arrested and released until a court date in June with conditions he not be found in the driver’s seat of a vehicle.
