A 13-year-old local boy was attempting to cross Hatfield Lane at 3.30pm on Wednesday, October 21, when he was struck by a silver 4x4 vehicle. The 4x4 failed to stop at the scene and left towards the West Moor Link roundabout.

The boy suffered slight bruising to his elbow, thigh and knee and was taken to the Doncaster Royal Infirmary but later released.

Anyone who witnessed the collision or who can provide further details about the vehicle involved should contact the South Yorkshire Police witness help line on 0114 220 2970.
