An urgent hunt is underway for the driver of a grey Porsche Cayenne – which is thought to have been stolen – after it smashed into another car with devastating consequences.
The driver was told to make the ‘right’ decision and hand themselves in, the police said.
Four adults and a two-year-old boy were rushed to hospital following the crash.
But despite the efforts of the medical teams, the child died.
A 29-year-old woman, and a 30-year-old man remain in a serious condition. Another man and a woman, both aged 30, are stable.
The driver of a grey Porsche Cayenne fled the scene, the police said.
It is thought to have been travelling from the island on Kenrick Way before it hit the Toyota.
Further checks on the Porsche revealed it was stolen earlier this month.
Detective Sergeant Paul Hughes from the Serious Collision Investigation Unit, said: ‘Our thoughts remain with the family of the little boy at this extremely difficult time.
‘I would urge the driver of the Porsche to do the right thing and come and talk to us. They made the wrong decision to run away and I’m asking them now to make the right one.
‘I also want to appeal to anyone who witnessed the collision and hasn’t already spoken to us, or has CCTV or dash-cam footage to get in touch.’
