A TEENAGE boy has died four days after he was struck by a car in Glasgow, police have confirmed.
Artisan Lushaku, 13, was hit by a red Toyota Aygo in the city's Balmore Road on Wednesday, May 10 around 5:55pm.
Emergency services were called to the scene and the boy was taken to the Royal Hospital for Children in critical condition.
Police Scotland confirmed the 13-year-old died on Sunday, May 14.
Officers are appealing for witnesses to come forward as the investigation into the collision is ongoing.
It is believed the driver of a white van who was in the area at the time of the crash could assist.
Sergeant Nicholas Twigg said: “This is a deeply distressing time for Artisan’s family as they try to come to terms with his death.
"It’s imperative we establish the full circumstances of the collision and our investigation remains ongoing.
“We are keen to hear from the driver of a white van who was in the area around the time of the incident and we would ask them to get in touch with us as we believe they could assist with our ongoing investigation.”
Anyone with information is asked to call Police Scotland via 101, quoting incident number 3122 of May 10.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
