A little boy has died in a horrific hit-and-run traffic collision in Northern Ireland, leading to the arrest of a 51-year-old man.
The child was riding a scooter when he was hit at the Strand area of Portaferry yesterday evening.
The News Letter reported that the 12-year-old was visiting the harbour town with friends but lived in a nearby village on the Ards Peninsula.
He was fatally struck by a red Skoda Fabia and was rushed to hospital after emergency services were called at 11pm.
A middle-aged man was arrested for a number of related offences and despite medical attention, the boy died of his injuries.
