A teenage boy has died four days after being hit by a car in Glasgow.

Artian Lushaku, 13, was hit by a Toyota Aygo in the city's Balmore Road on Wednesday at 5.55pm, and was taken to the Royal Hospital for Children.

But the boy died on Sunday, Police Scotland said, and detectives are now seeking a white van driver who was in the area at the time of the crash.

Sergeant Nicholas Twig said it was a "deeply distressing time for Artian's family as they try to come to terms with his death" and it was "imperative we establish the full circumstances of the collision and our investigation remains ongoing".
