A five-year-old boy is dead in southern Manitoba after being hit by a car while tobogganing.
Police in the city of Winkler say they responded to a call early Sunday afternoon about a child who had been hit by a vehicle.
They say the boy had been sliding down a snow hill and ended up on the street.
Police say a driver had reversed out of a driveway and came to a stop before moving forward to leave, not noticing the child, who was right in front of the car’s bumper.
