Grade 3 Student Dies In Clearwater, B.C., After Being Hit By Vehicle

The Canadian Press, 30 May, 2018 11:02 AM

CLEARWATER, B.C. — Grief counsellors are at an elementary school in British Columbia's southern Interior to help students, staff and parents deal with the death of a Grade 3 youngster.

The principal of Raft River Elementary in Clearwater, north of Kamloops, says in a post on the school's website that the boy died Tuesday after being hit by a vehicle.

Lori Bradstock says nothing was shared with students in the hours after the death because RCMP were still trying to notify family members.

RCMP in Clearwater and the coroner confirm the boy was on his bike when the accident occurred, but no other details are being released.

Sgt. Grant Simpson says charges are not being considered.

Bradstock says counsellors will support students who were given the news Wednesday morning, and the counselling team will also offer guidance to parents if they need help discussing the death with their children.
