The family of an 11-year-old boy who was hit by a police van have given an update on his condition.
Thomas was crossing Owen Road in Lancaster just before 8:30pm on Thursday (May 25) when he was hit. Lancashire Police said they were attending an emergency call when the incident occurred.
The schoolboy was taken to Royal Lancaster Infirmary and later transferred to Alder Hey Children’s Hospital, in a critical condition. The youngster's family said that after several days on life support, Thomas, known as Tom, was out of a coma and placed on the high dependency unit where he has a "long journey ahead".
