An elderly woman has been charged in connection with an alleged hit and run of a teenager in Bothwell.
We told you earlier this week how a 13-year-old remained in hospital in a “stable condition”.
Today, Police Scotland have confirmed the arrest of an 84-year-old woman.
In a short statement on their social media channels, cops said: “The OAP has been charged in connection with a hit and run involving a child pedestrian in Bothwell.
“The incident happened around 2.30pm on Monday, 5 April, near to Co-op on Main Street.”
During their appeal for information, police took to social media saying they were looking for a grey coloured Vauxhall Corsa.
Sergeant Andy Shearer made a “direct appeal” to the driver, asking them to “do the right thing and come forward” in response to the incident.
The schoolboy injured in the incident was taken to Wishaw General by ambulance with “serious injuries”.
A report has been sent to the Procurator Fiscal.
