A collision in Markham sent a seven-year-old girl to hospital with life-threatening injuries on Friday.

The child was struck by a vehicle while she was riding a bike near the intersection of McCowan Road and Coleraine Avenue just before 5 p.m., said an official with York Region EMS.

Paramedics found the child without vital signs, but were able to revive her. They then rushed her to Markham-Stouffville Hospital in life-threatening condition.

From there, crews with ORNGE, the province's air ambulance service, airlifted her to Toronto's SickKids Hospital.
