Police have renewed appeals for witnesses and dashcam footage following the fatal collision outside the Kings School in Chester

An 11-year-old boy has died days after being hit by a car outside a school, police have said.

The boy was involved in a collision with a grey Nissan Qashqai outside the Kings School on Wrexham Road in Chester at about 17:15 GMT on Tuesday.

He was treated at the scene before being flown to Alder Hey Children's Hospital, where he died on Saturday morning. Cheshire Police said his family were being supported by specialist officers.

The driver of the Nissan Qashqai, a 28-year-old woman from Wrexham, was not injured and no arrests have been made, police added.

Sgt Russell Sime said: "We understand that this was distressing incident, and our thoughts remain with the victim's family at this difficult time."

He appealed for anyone who may have witnessed the incident, or have any information about it or doorbell or dashcam footage, to contact police.
