The Prince George RCMP are seeking information from the public regarding a concerning incident involving a young child running along the John Hart Bridge. 

On Wednesday, November 4, 2026, just before 6:00 pm, Prince George RCMP received multiple reports of an unidentified child running alone on the roadway near the on-ramp from North Nechako Rd to Hwy 97 S. The child was described as female, approximately 3-6 years of age with purple hair and wearing a green shirt.

Numerous officers attended the area immediately and conducted extensive patrols, including a drone search, but were unable to locate the child.

“We believe that the child may have been picked up by a guardian, who has decided not to report the situation. We would like to ask the guardian or anyone who knows this child to reach out to us so that we may confirm their well-being. We also ask anyone who has additional information or dash-cam footage from the area at this time to provide it to police,” states Sgt. Craig Douglass of the Prince George RCMP.

If anyone has information or video footage of the incident, they are requested to contact the Prince George RCMP at (250) 561-3300 as soon as possible.
