Police are trying to trace the driver of a dark coloured vehicle which was parked in the bus stop adjacent to a collision in Hartlepool yesterday as they may have witnessed the incident.
Officers were called to the junction of Stockton Road and Ashgrove Place in Hartlepool after a 9-year-old boy was in collision with a red Citroen Berlingo at 5.10pm.
The boy was taken to James Cook University Hospital with head injuries where he still remains in a poorly but stable condition.
Any witnesses are asked to contact PC Ian Robson from the Cleveland and Durham Specialist Operations Unit on the non-emergency number 101.
