29/11/2022
The driver of the vehicle failed to stop at the scene
An 11-year-old boy has undergone surgery after being hit by a vehicle in Banbury whilst he attempted to cross the road, but the driver of the vehicle failed to stop at the scene.
The boy got off the B9 Stagecoach bus on Highlands at around 6.50pm on Sunday (November 27). He attempted to cross the road at the junction with Hereford Way when the vehicle struck him.
The driver didn’t stop, but headed down Sussex Drive.
The victim suffered a fractured leg. He was taken to hospital by ambulance, where he underwent surgery and remains in a stable condition.
Thames Valley Police is now appealing for witnesses and anyone with dashcam footage to come forward.
Investigating officer PC Jon Simpkins, of the Joint Operations Roads Policing Unit, said: “I am appealing for any witnesses to this collision, whereby a young boy has sustained serious injuries, to please come forward.
“The boy had just got off the B9 Stagecoach bus before the incident so someone on the bus may have seen what happened.
“Also, if you were driving in the area around the time of the collision and have a dash-cam, I’d also ask that you check any recordings in case it has captured something that could assist our investigation.
“You can upload any footage to our dedicated online portal.
“You can contact us by calling the 24-hour non-emergency number 101 or by making a report on our website, quoting reference number 43220534774.”
To date no arrests have been made.
