A 15-year-old boy has died in a hit and run in Wishaw on New Year's Day.
Tragic Steven Mcilquham was crossing Alexander Street, at its junction with Marshall Street, in the town around 9.30pm on January 1 when he was 'struck' by a grey Volkswagen car.
Emergency services raced to the area but he died at the scene.
The driver allegedly failed to stop after the tragic collision.
A 20-year-old man has since been arrested in connection with alleged road traffic offences and released pending further investigation.
Inspector Scott Sutherland, of Motherwell's Road Policing Unit , said: "Our thoughts are with Steven's family and friends at this very sad time.
"Our enquiries are ongoing to establish the full circumstances of the crash. I would ask that anyone who witnessed the crash or may have any relevant dash-cam footage to contact the police as soon as possible."
Those with information should contact Road Policing Officers in Motherwell through 101, quoting reference number 4880 of 1 January, 2020.
