“A black Ford Escape collided with a black McLaren in the intersection of Smithe and Hornby streets just after 6 pm on July 6. As a result of the collision, one of the vehicles mounted the sidewalk and struck a man who was carrying his 23-month old daughter. The child died immediately on scene. The father was taken to hospital for non-life-threatening injuries,” said a statement from the VPD.
The fundraiser, which had a goal of $15,000, has reached nearly $22,000 as of Thursday afternoon.

The fundraiser was started by Star’s neighbour, who says the financial burden will only further worsen those pre-existing mental health challenges.
The money raised will go towards living, legal, and counselling costs.
No charges have been recommended in relation to this incident, but the VPD says the investigation is still ongoing.
