Police have thanked the public for their support following a fail to stop collision outside a primary school in Chester.
At around 3.20pm on Tuesday 22nd July, police were called to reports of a collision outside Mill View Primary School.
Officers attended and found that a 5-year-old boy had been involved in a collision with a blue electric bike while crossing Wealstone Lane with his dad.
The rider and passenger of the bike failed to stop and made off towards Plas Newton Lane.
The boy was taken to the Countess of Chester Hospital with serious injuries. He is currently in a stable condition.
A 16-year-old boy from Saughall has since been arrested in relation to the incident, after presenting himself at Blacon Police Station.
The teenager has been arrested on suspicion of causing serious injury by dangerous driving, failing to stop following a collision, driving without a licence, and driving without insurance.
Enquiries to trace the passenger from the bike remain ongoing and anyone with any information is urged to get in touch.
The passenger is believed to have been wearing a grey hooded top at the time of the collision.
Detective Sergeant Russ Sime, from the Serious Collision Investigation unit said:
“Firstly, I would like to thank the local community for all the support and information provided so far in relation to this incident.
“This is an extremely emotive case, and I’d like to reassure residents that the victim is now on the mend and expected to make a full recovery.
“As our investigation continues, we’re keen to hear from anyone who witnessed the incident, or anyone with any video footage that may aid the investigation.
“The same goes for anyone who believes that they know the identity of the passenger from the bike.”
