A two-year-old boy has died after a hit-and-run in Coventry.

The toddler and his six-year-old brother were struck by a car on MacDonald Road at around 2pm on Thursday February 22.

Both were taken to hospital with life-threatening injuries. The younger boy died, while his brother remains in a critical condition.

A black Ford Focus was found abandoned a short time after the crash.

A 22-year-old man and a 41-year-old woman have been arrested in connection with the death.

The road remains closed while emergency services are at the scene.

Detective Sergeant Paul Hughes, from the West Midlands Police's collision investigation unit, said: "We are still trying to establish how this tragic incident has happened and anyone who hasn't yet spoken to an officer should call us on 101.

"This is a parent's worst nightmare and it's impossible to imagine their grief, but specialist officers will be supporting them as our investigation continues."
