In a statement West Midlands Police said: "Police were alerted by colleagues from the ambulance service to a collision between a Transit Tipper and a child just before 3.50pm on Keats Road, Wolverhampton.

The driver of the vehicle was "very shaken", West Midlands Ambulance Service said.
A spokesman said: "When the first ambulance arrived, a few minutes later, they advised that sadly there was nothing that could be done to save the child and to stand the aircraft down.
He was confirmed dead on scene.
