Police are appealing for witnesses after a nine-year-old child was hit by a car in Rue Henri Kirpach in Mamer at around 7.30am on Thursday. The incident happened at the junction with Rue du Commerce and Rue de Rome, where the child was crossing at a pedestrian crossing.
According to police, the driver initially stopped to let a child cross the road but apparently failed to notice another child before setting off again, hitting them in the process. The vehicle, possibly a black BMW X3, was travelling in the direction of Route d'Arlon.
A white car is believed to have been on the opposite side of the road at the time. Police are particularly keen to speak with its driver, who reportedly stopped briefly to check whether everything was alright before driving away.
Anyone who witnessed the incident or has information about the black vehicle is also asked to contact Capellen Police.
