Evelyn, 3, remains in hospital after being struck by a truck in Brown Plains

A child is fighting for life after in hospital she was struck by a truck at a busy intersection.

Family and friends are supporting the young child, who has been identified as three-year-old girl Evelyn, as she remains in the Queensland Children’s Hospital in an induced coma.

Emergency services were called after reports the child had been struck by the truck at the corner of Browns Plains Rd and Webber Drive in Browns Plains, Logan, at 8.30am on Thursday.

A Queensland Ambulance Service spokeswoman said Evelyn had suffered serious head injuries before being rushed to hospital in a critical condition.

It’s understood the little girl was being pushed in a stroller by her mother as they crossed the road at the time of the incident.

A GoFundMe has since been launched in an effort to support Evelyn and her family during this “most traumatic ordeal”.

“Dad will have to take unknown time off work to be there to support his little family as they also have a eight-year-old boy at home and also any help that may be needed throughout Evelyn’s journey,” the post read.

It’s understood Evelyn remains in an induced coma.

“She is currently undergoing surgery for her injuries,” the GoFundMe post explained.

“Any little donation will help the family at this time.”

The driver of the truck, a man in his 40s, is assisting police with their inquiries.
