A young boy who was hit by a van in Blackburn North at the weekend has died in hospital.

The 10-year-old from Croydon was with his six-year-old sister and a 10-year-old friend on a signalised crossing when the incident occurred about 6.30pm on Saturday.

It is believed the driver of a Toyota HiAce van collided with the boy as he crossed Springfield Road. The other two girls were not injured and the male driver stopped at the scene.

The 10-year-old Croydon boy was taken to hospital with life threatening injuries and his life support was withdrawn on Tuesday.
