Cheshire Police officials are urgently calling on witnesses to come forward following a hit-and-run incident in Crewe, that left a three-year-old boy with a serious foot injury.

The collision occurred at approximately 3:30pm Monday 18 March, on Bedford Street near its junction with Barker Street. Initial reports describe the vehicle involved as a black car, possibly a taxi, which collided with the young pedestrian.

Following the incident, the child was promptly transported to hospital for treatment of his injuries. He has now been released.

“We appreciate this incident happened more than a month ago and enquiries have been ongoing since, however we would ask anyone who was in the area at the time to think back about anything they may have seen.”
