Calgary police are still looking for the driver of a white pickup truck that a witness says "mowed over" two children at a northwest Calgary intersection.

Police are searching for a Dodge Ram or similar vehicle, which they say struck the kids near the intersection of Berkley Drive and Bermondsey Way N.W. shortly after 7:30 a.m.

They believe the truck drove through a stop sign and struck two children — a 11-year-old boy and a 9-year-old girl. The girl's brother was also with them, but avoided being hit.

The children told police they believe the vehicle drove over the girl.

According to EMS spokesman Stuart Brideaux, the children were taken to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. The boy suffered soft-tissue injuries such as bruising and the girl is being treated for a broken leg.

Brideaux said paramedics initially had "mixed reports" saying three kids had been hurt, but it turned out only two had been struck in the group crossing Bermondsey Way.

Witness shocked

Ivan Enns witnessed the incident and said he couldn't believe the driver's behaviour.

"A white pickup truck came down, fully disregarded the stop sign, didn't even see the kids, mowed them over and kept on going," Enns said. "It was unbelievable. I can't believe people do this. These are kids."

Calgary police are asking the driver to come forward. Anyone who may have information about this incident is asked to contact 403-266-1234 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

A crowdfunding page has been set up for the family.
