A five-year-old boy who died after being hit by a van in Glasgow has been named.

Lennon Toland from Easterhill Place, Tollcross, died in hospital after the incident on Monday afternoon at Dalness Street, Shettleston, in the east end of the city.

Sergeant Jackie Dunbar said following the incident: "It would appear that the boy, a pupil at St Paul's (Shettleston) Primary School on Anwoth Street, Glasgow, was struck by the van, which had come in to Dalness Street from Tollcross Road, as it turned into a car park on Dalness Street.

"It was picking up time at the school and there were a number of people in the area at the time of the incident.

"I would ask that anyone who saw what happened, and who has not already been spoken to by police, to contact officers.''

A report will be sent to the procurator fiscal.
