Falling debris from a construction site killed a three-year-old girl last night, as witnesses watched in horror.
Emergency crews rushed to Centre St. and 9 Ave. S. after a thunderstorm blew metal off a building under construction, falling on a family of four below, said Calgary police.

A family of four, two adults and two children were walking on
the south sidewalk of 9 Ave in the 100 block SW when several
sheets of “metal floor decking” struck the two children and
the adult male. A three year old girl was pronounced dead at
the scene and EMS treated and transported the 7 year old boy
and adult male to hospital with non-life threatening
injuries. The adult female was not injured.

A 6 metre piece of metal roofing material had become
dislodged from the building under construction and fell
approximately 30 - 40 metres striking a group of people on
the sidewalk across the street on 9th Avenue. A female
toddler was fatally injured by the piece of falling material
and others in the group sustained various non-life
threatening injuries.
