Teenage boy hit by car that did not stop escapes injury as police seek driver
A teenage boy was hit by a car that did not stop near Kidderminster and police want anyone with information on the driver to come forward.
The 15-year-old was walking in the road at Church Bank in Wolverley due to the lack of a footpath, and was hit by a gold Vauxhall Corsa. He was thankfully not injured.
West Mercia Police has now released an appeal for information on the crash, which happened at around 3.25pm on Monday, February 26.
The force is seeking the driver of the car, described as a man in his 50s, and officers say the bonnet of the car is likely to have sustained some damage.
A spokesman for West Mercia Police said: "We are appealing for witnesses following a road traffic collision involving a car and a pedestrian on Church Bank in Wolverley in Worcestershire.
"The pedestrian was walking on the road due to no footpath. A car described as a gold Vauxhall Corsa was heading towards him, collided with him and then left the scene immediately.
"Thankfully, the 15-year-old pedestrian was not injured.
