A baby boy who was hit by a car as he lay in his pram has died.

Eight-month-old Luciano Newman, who was critically injured in the collision in south London on 13 January, died on Sunday.

His mother, Nicole Newman, 23, who was pushing the pram at the time of the crash, died at the scene in Croydon Road, Penge.

The driver of the car, who stopped at the scene and was taken to hospital with non life-threatening injuries, was cooperating with police, Scotland Yard said.

Officers continued to appeal for witnesses and urged anyone with dash cam footage, including from the minutes leading up to the collision, which happened at 8.08pm, to come forward.

One witness of the aftermath of the incident described the scene in a video on Facebook.

“Boy what a sad start for 2019. [I was] just passing, going about my business and I came across such a horrific accident. A car hit a baby [and] mother while she was trying to cross the road.”
