REGINA – A Saskatchewan teenager is in hospital after he was struck down by an RCMP vehicle on a First Nation north of Regina.

Mounties say it happened while police responded to a “firearms-related call” on the Kawacatoose First Nation, roughly 130 kilometres north of Saskatchewan’s capital city.

Police say one of the responding officers was driving down a grid road when he hit the teen near a rural home on the First Nation.

The officer was not hurt but called an ambulance for the 16-year-old, who was airlifted to a hospital in Regina before being transferred to Saskatoon.

RCMP say the Saskatchewan Serious Incident Response Team will look into the collision and the boy’s injuries to determine if the officer should be charged.

No other details are to be released until the watchdog wraps up the investigation.
