A 15-year-old boy's died after being hit crossing the road with a group of friends in Hull.
He was hit by a car last night on the A63 near St Andrew's Quay.
The crash shut the busy road for hours while police were investigating.
They're asking any witnesses to come forward - especially the group he was with:
"A 15-year-old boy has sadly died following a collision on the eastbound carriageway, close to Brighton Street and St Andrew’s Quay, at around 7.30pm yesterday.
It is understood that the boy was one of a number of young people who were walking across the road, but none of the others have yet come forward.
We are now keen to speak to the group and anyone who saw either the young people or a grey Toyota Auris in the area at the time.
The boy’s family – who have asked that he is not named – are being supported by our officers and our thoughts are with them at this very difficult time.
If you can help, please call 101, quoting log number 517 of March 24"
