A four-year-old child has died after being hit by a van while riding a skateboard in a residential area in Oxted, Surrey.

Police, paramedics and an air ambulance responded to calls about the incident at The Hollies in Hurst Green at 10:40am on Sunday.

The child was taken to hospital in Redhill, but died shortly after midday.

Surrey Police said the youngster was believed to be riding a skateboard when they were hit by a Mercedes Sprinter box van.

They are now appealing for witnesses, and any drivers who may have dashcam or CCTV footage of the incident, to come forward.
