An eight-year-old boy who died after being hit by a garbage truck in Hope has been identified by the coroners service.

The coroner says he was transported to Fraser Canyon Hospital but died soon after arrival.

Members of the RCMP and coroners service are continuing their investigations.

Mounties said at the time of the accident that the driver was co-operating with investigators and officials from victim services were assisting the boy's family.
