A three-year-old girl hit and killed by a ute in Caboolture on Tuesday night had been out with her family on an evening walk.

The young girl was walking with her mother, grandmother and younger brother near the corner of Linfield Drive and Toohey Street when she was hit by a Nissan Navara ute just before 7pm.

Paramedics rushed to the scene and treated the girl for critical injuries, but she could not be saved. She died at the scene.

Footage from nearby CCTV cameras, obtained by Seven News, captured the family on their evening stroll, moments before the tragedy unfolded.

The ute’s driver, a 49-year-old woman, remained on the scene and assisted police and the Forensic Crash Unit with investigations.

Police said the driver was turning right from Lynfield Drive onto Toohey Road when the child was hit.

Local resident Kevin Taylor, who witnessed the aftermath of the collision, suggested a bus might have obstructed the ute driver’s view as she was turning onto Toohey Road.

“The bus pulled up here, a car [was] sitting over there and a lady was sitting right here and I think was probably clutching her child,” he told Seven’s Sunrise program on Wednesday morning.

“It was very sad. She was distraught, very, very distraught.”

The Queensland Ambulance Service said three patients in “emotional distress” – two women, aged in their 20s and 40s, along with a male toddler – were transported to Caboolture Hospital in stable condition.

Investigators have described the collision as a tragedy and are examining whether the young girl might have run onto the road.

Tributes, including a small teddy bear and flowers, were laid at the scene on Wednesday morning.

Anyone with further information is urged to contact police.
