A two-year-old boy has died in a tragic car crash on a Scots road.
The horror smash happened on Charnwood Place in Dumfries yesterday around 6.50pm.
Police say the incident 'involved' a Honda Civic and a two-year-old child.
The child was rushed to Dumfries and Galloway Royal Infirmary after the collision but tragically died a short time later.
The 54-year-old man driving the car was uninjured.
It is unclear if the child was a passenger in the car or was hit by it.
Cops have called for any witnesses to come forward.
Sergeant Bob McNay, from Police Scotland's Road Policing Unit, said: "Our thoughts are with the child's family at this time, following their tragic loss.
"The investigation into the incident is ongoing and we are asking for anyone who was in the area and witnessed the events to please come forward.
"We are also keen to speak to anyone who may have CCTV overlooking the Charnwood Place area to get in contact, as they may be able to assist our enquiries.
"If you have any information, please contact police on 101, quoting incident 3597 of 2 April 2021."
