Staffordshire Police is continuing to investigate the circumstances of a fatal collision in which a seven year-old boy died near Lichfield on Saturday and are calling on the public to help
The accident occurred on the A38 at Swinfen at around 5am and involved a blue Vauxhall Mokka and a seven-year-old boy who died at the scene.
Officers from Staffordshire Police's Serious Collision Investigation Unit are continuing to appeal for witnesses to the accident or for anyone who may have seen the child or Vauxhall beforehand to come forward.
Sergeant Chris Sweetmore said: “The collision occurred on the northbound carriageway, but we are keen to hear from witnesses who saw anyone on either side of the A38 at Swinfen around 5am.
“This incident is devastating for everyone involved and we continue to investigate the circumstances.
" Speculation as to what may have occurred is not helpful for the family or the wider investigation and I would ask that people refrain from putting comments on social media as to their thoughts and opinions.”
