Police hunt after boy struck in Edinburgh hit and run

Police have launched an appeal after a hit and run driver struck a six-year-old boy.

Officers are keen to get public help to trace the motorist following the incident on the West Approach Road, Edinburgh.

The crash happened at around 4.40pm on Friday, November 6 when the driver hit the boy as he walked on a pedestrian crossing.

The driver of the grey/green coloured Skoda Roomster did not stop and police have been unable to find the car or its owner.

Police Constable Alexander Marshall, of the Road Policing Unit in Edinburgh, said: “We are keen to track down the driver of this car which was damaged at the time of the crash. This includes damage to the nearside wing mirror and fog light surround on the bumper.

“I am appealing to anyone who may have seen this car or know where it might be to get in touch.

"In particular I would ask any repair outlets or garages who may have been asked to carry out work on this make of vehicle to call us.”
