A schoolboy has tragically passed away after being hit by a car.
Emergency services raced to Wrexham Road, near the entrance of Kings School in Chester, after the alarm was raised at around 5.12pm on Tuesday. Officers were alerted to a crash between a grey Nissan Qashqai and a pedestrian.
The 11-year-old boy suffered serious injuries and was treated at the scene before being rushed to Alder Hey Children's Hospital. The driver of the Nissan, a 28-year-old woman from Wrexham, was uninjured during the incident. No arrests have been made and police are appealing for information.
Sergeant Russell Sime, of the Serious Collision Investigation Unit, said: "We understand that this was distressing incident, and our thoughts remain with the victim’s family at this difficult time.
"As part of our ongoing enquiries we are asking for anyone who may have witnessed the incident, or has any information about it, to get in touch. The same goes for anyone who may have captured the incident on dashcam or on CCTV."
Anyone with any information or CCTV or dashcam footage is asked to contact Cheshire Police via 101 or online, quoting IML-1961446.
