Police are renewing their appeal for witnesses and dashcam footage following the death of a child who was involved a collision in Chester.
At around 5.12pm on Tuesday 12 November, officers were called to reports of a collision on Wrexham Road, near to the entrance of Kings School.
Officers attended the scene and found there had been a collision between a grey Nissan Qashqai and a pedestrian.
The pedestrian, an 11-year-old boy, sustained serious injuries and was treated at the scene before being taken to Alder Hey hospital.
Sadly, the boy passed away this morning, Saturday 16 November. His family are being supported by specialist officers.
The driver of the Nissan, a 28-year-old woman from Wrexham, was uninjured during the incident and no arrests have been made.
As part of ongoing enquiries, officers are now appealing for witnesses or anyone with information or CCTV footage to come forward.
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.
