A TEENAGE boy has died four days after he was struck by a car in Glasgow, police have confirmed.

Artisan Lushaku, 13, was hit by a red Toyota Aygo in the city's Balmore Road on Wednesday, May 10 around 5:55pm.

Emergency services were called to the scene and the boy was taken to the Royal Hospital for Children in critical condition.

Police Scotland confirmed the 13-year-old died on Sunday, May 14.

"It’s imperative we establish the full circumstances of the collision and our investigation remains ongoing.

“We are keen to hear from the driver of a white van who was in the area around the time of the incident and we would ask them to get in touch with us as we believe they could assist with our ongoing investigation.”
