The young girl critically injured in last Thursday’s Endeavor Hills collision has died in hospital.
Major Collision Investigation Unit detectives have charged a man following the collision, which occurred at the intersection of James Cook Drive and Heatherton Rd, on about 8.30am.
The 24-year-old man has been charged with one count of dangerous driving causing serious injury.
It is alleged the young girl was crossing Heatherton Rd, at a pedestrian crossing with family, when she was struck by a car.
The three-year-old was critically injured and was taken to hospital in a life-threatening condition.
The driver of the car stopped at the scene and was arrested by police.
The Endeavour Hills man has been bailed to appear before Melbourne Magistrates’ Court today (Wed., Oct. 23).
It is expected further charges will now be considered following the death of the child.
