Police are appealing for witnesses to a collision in Derby where the driver reportedly did not stop and give their details.

It happened around 8.55pm on Thursday 17 March on Grange Avenue at Normanton.

A young child was with his parents who were getting into their car, when he ran out into the road and was hit by another vehicle.

He was taken to hospital for treatment for injuries which were not found to be serious.

The vehicle, which is described as being a blue Vauxhall Zafira or similar, allegedly initially pulled over but then drove off onto Village Street.

Officers have carried out house-to-house and other enquiries and are keen to hear from anyone who may have dashcam footage or information which could help to identify the driver.
