Kelowna RCMP are looking for a grey BMW SUV that witnesses said failed to stop at the red light at Glenmore and Kane roads at around 2:45 p.m. on April 13.

The 11-year-old was riding a scooter in the crosswalk on a green light when he was struck by the SUV, police said.

The boy was reportedly with two other children at the time and his scooter was damaged.
