A 10-year-old boy is fighting for his life after he was hit by a car while riding his scooter.
Police and paramedics rushed to Honeypot Lane in Stanmore, London, on Sunday morning.
The schoolboy had been on a morning walk with his family and was riding his scooter when a car ploughed into him while he crossed the road.
The boy was treated at the scene before being taken to hospital where his condition remains critical.
A 28-year-old man was stopped at the scene and was arrested on suspicion of drug driving and causing serious injury by dangerous driving.
He has since been interviewed under caution and bailed.
Officers are appealing for anyone with information or video footage to come forward.
