A young child was being treated in an Edmonton hospital Tuesday night, after emergency crews were called to a home on reports that a child had been left inside a car.

Edmonton police, firefighters and paramedics were called to a home in the area of 29 Street and 116A Avenue just after 6:30 p.m. Tuesday.

Crews were called to follow up on reports that a child had been left unattended in a car – CTV News has learned the child is younger than 5-years-old, but the child’s gender is not known.

The child was treated on the scene by paramedics, and then rushed to the Stollery Children’s Hospital for further treatment.

“It’s my understanding that the call came from parents and they provided emergency medical attention in the home,” District Chief Darrell Dublanko said on the scene. “The circumstances of how the child arranged there I don’t know.”

Police are investigating; it’s not clear how long the child was left alone for.
