    ABBOTSFORD, B.C. - Police in Abbotsford, B.C., are searching for a young girl who was last seen lying on the side of a road and being carried off by a man into the bushes.

    Const. Ian MacDonald says a driver told police on Tuesday night that he saw a girl possibly between 6 and 10 years old lying on the side of the road near Enterprise Avenue and McCallum Road.

    The driver says he saw a Caucasian man in his 40s near the girl, and the man picked the child up and carried her in the direction of a treed area.

    MacDonald says officers were told the girl was wearing a pink jacket and she didn't appear to be moving.

    The man who the witness say carried away the girl is described as having curly brown hair and wearing a dark jean jacket and jeans.

    MacDonald says police have been searching the area since Tuesday night, and search and rescue crews have also joined in the effort.
