CHILLIWACK – A child was airlifted to hospital in critical condition following an incident on McSween Road in Chilliwack over the weekend.

BC Emergency Health Services spokesperson Orna Daly says paramedics were called to McSween Road in Rosedale Saturday, June 27 at about 11:30 a.m.

Four ground units and one air ambulance responded to the scene, including two advanced care paramedics and one primary care paramedic. One patient was treated and transported to hospital by air in critical condition, Daly said.

Chilliwack RCMP spokesperson Corporal Carmen Kiener said the incident on McSween involved injuries to a child. Criminality is not believed to be a factor and the child was taken to hospital.

“I won’t be providing more information out of respect to the family,” Cpl. Kiener said.

The air ambulance landed at Quik’s on McSween Road and was there for approximately 30 minutes after it landed, according to a witness at the scene.

The Pulse Point app indicated it was a motor vehicle incident, but no other information about the incident was released by BC EHS or Chilliwack RCMP.

The incident is the second accident in roughly a month that has involved a child on, or near, McSween Road. On Saturday, May 23, 2026, a child was transported to hospital after a traumatic motor vehicle incident in the 11000 block of McSween Road. Three ground ambulances and one air ambulance were notified in that incident. Paramedics cared for and transported one patient to hospital in critical condition.
