Merseyside Police were called to Kensington at 7.55pm on Friday, March 10, following reports of a crash. Once officers got to the scene they found an 11-year-old boy had been knocked down by a Ford Transit van.

The boy was taken to hospital by ambulance shortly after. Police were unable to confirm the condition of the 11-year-old.

The Transit van driver stopped at the scene and is assisting police with enquiries. No arrests have been made.

Police have closed the road in both directions between Albany Road and Low Hill in Kensington. At least five police vehicles are currently at the scene along with around half a dozen officers.

One man who passed the scene said he would “say a prayer” for the little boy tonight.

Police are carrying out house-to-house enquiries inside the cordon and are appealing for witnesses to come forward.

A spokesperson from Merseyside Police said: “If you have any information about this incident, contact @MerPolCC or call 101, quoting reference 23000205791.”
