A seven-year-old girl was taken to hospital with a broken leg after being struck by a mini dirt bike on a rural property southeast of Red Deer Sunday.

Blackfalds RCMP confirm it happened around 3:00 p.m. at a rural property near Township Road 380 and Range Road 265 when a mini dirt bike operator under the age of 12 struck the young girl while the two were playing together in the yard.
