A baby in a stroller survived being struck and dragged for two blocks while it was lodged in the front of a vehicle in Squamish, B.C.

Mounties say they received multiple calls that a vehicle had hit a pedestrian pushing a baby in the stroller at a crosswalk Monday night.

Investigators say the driver fled the scene in the vehicle but was found approximately two blocks away with the baby still inside the stroller, lodged into the front of the vehicle.

Police say both the pedestrian and baby have non-life-threatening injuries and are receiving medical attention.

The driver was arrested and police say the investigation is ongoing.

Mounties are asking anyone with dashcam or security camera footage of the downtown Squamish area between the hours of 8 p.m. and 9 p.m. Monday to contact police.

British Columbia to Eliminate Consumer Carbon Tax

The British Columbia government is moving forward with the elimination of the consumer carbon tax. The province's Finance Minister, Brenda Bailey, has introduced a bill in the legislature to remove the 17-year-old tax for the public. Additionally, the payment related to the carbon tax that people will receive in April will be the final one. It is important to note that the consumer carbon tax has been in effect in BC since 2008.
