A 5-year-old boy who had been out trick-or-treating was killed after he was struck by a car in North Minneapolis on Saturday night.

Police were called to the area of Knox Avenue North and Victory Memorial Parkway around 9:25 p.m. by a report of a motor vehicle incident resulting in injuries, according to a news release from Minneapolis police.

Officers arrived to find the boy in critical condition after being struck by a car as he crossed the parkway and had become trapped beneath the car that struck him.

The boy was taken to North Memorial Medical Center, where he later died. His identity will be released pending an examination by the Hennepin County medical examiner.

Minneapolis police spokesman John Elder said the boy was with adults at the time he was struck. He said it wasn’t known whether the boy was in a crosswalk.

“It goes without saying this is an exceptionally tragic incident,” he said.

The driver who struck the boy stopped and is cooperating with police. It does not appear that alcohol or drugs were factors in this incident, the statement said.
