A child has been rushed to a Hamilton hospital with life threatening injuries after being struck by a vehicle in Mississauga.

A woman (the child's mother) and another child were also struck by the vehicle near Bromsgrove and Tredmore Drive just after 6 p.m., Tuesday.

They were also taken to hospital, but were said to suffer non-life threatening injuries.

Police say it's not clear what happened at this point, but believe the three were walking in the crosswalk when they were hit.

No word yet on whether charges will be laid.
