Vancouver Police Investigate Collision Involving Child Hit By Vehicle

January 10, 2025

On January 9 at around 3:30 p.m., Vancouver Police responded to the Townhouse Square Apartments (8701 E. Mill Plain Blvd.) for the report that a child (5 years old) had been hit by a vehicle in the parking lot of the complex. The child was transported to the hospital with life-threatening injuries. The driver told police that he was driving through the parking lot when he felt the rear passenger tire run over something. He stopped and located the child and his bike on the ground. It appears the child was riding his bike between two parked vehicles before entering the roadway area of the parking lot. The child was not wearing a helmet. The driver cooperated with police and neither speed nor impairment appear to be factors in the collision.

The Vancouver Police Traffic Unit is continuing the investigation.
