The child's injuries are not thought to be serious, police say

Police are appealing for information after a boy was taken to hospital following a hit-and-run crash in Derby.

Derbyshire Police said the boy was getting into a car with his parents when he ran into the road and was hit by a vehicle in Grange Avenue, Normanton, on Thursday.

It is believed the vehicle initially pulled over, but then drove off after the crash at about 20:55 GMT.

The child's injuries are not thought to be serious, the force added.

Police said officers had carried out house-to-house inquiries and were keen to hear from anyone with dashcam footage that could help to identify the driver of the vehicle, thought to be a blue Vauxhall Zafira or similar.
