Police seek 'key witnesses' after boy, 10, hit by car on way home from school

Police today released a CCTV image after a 10-year-old boy suffered a serious head injury when he was hit by a car while talking to his mum on the phone.

The ECHO heard earlier this week from Leah Griffiths, who said her 10-year-old son Luke was recovering at home after he was hit by a car. The 26-year-old mum said she was walking to meet her son after school when he was hit by a car on Muirhead Avenue East at around 3.10pm on Wednesday, December 7.

Leah, from West Derby, told the ECHO : "I was on the phone when it happened. I heard the phone hit the floor. I was screaming his name down the phone and I heard him crying. It was very difficult to be on the other end of the phone and not know what had happened. It's every parent's worst nightmare.
