Police are appealing for witnesses after a hit and run in Bucksburn.

The collision happened at around 8.40am today, Wednesday, 25 April, at Hopetoun Court, at its junction with Sclattie Park. A 9-year-old boy was about to cross the road on his bike when the front tyre was clipped by a car.

The boy was not injured but understandably has been left shaken by the incident.

The boy was knocked from his bike and it is fortunate that he was not injured. The vehicle did not stop after the collision and continued west bound on Hopetoun Court.

"Witnesses have described the car as dark coloured and we are appealing for anyone who witnessed the collision or who has any information to contact police on 101 using reference number CF0095500418".
