A 14-year-old boy has been charged with causing the death of a 78-year-old woman by dangerous driving.

May Laidlaw died in a hit-and-run collision with a scrambler-type motorbike while crossing Queens Drive in Walton, around 5pm on Saturday.

She suffered multiple injuries and later died in hospital.

The suspect voluntarily attended a police station in Liverpool on Sunday.

Merseyside Police said on Monday he has now been charged with causing death by dangerous driving, failing to stop at the scene of a road traffic collision and driving without insurance.

He will appear before Liverpool Youth Court on Tuesday morning
