Two people questioned by police following fatal hit and run
Two young brothers have died after a hit-and-run collision in Coventry.
The two and six-year-old were struck by a car in the Stoke area on Thursday afternoon.
Both were taken to hospital with life-threatening injuries, but sadly nothing could be done to save them.
A black Ford Focus was found abandoned a short time after the crash and two people - a 22-year-old man and a 41-year-old woman – have been arrested.
The road remains closed while emergency services are at the scene and officers are speaking to witnesses.
Detective Sergeant Paul Hughes, from the force’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.”
