A four-year-old boy was still fighting for his life in hospital today after being hit by a taxi.
The youngster is still in a critical but stable condition following the collision in Pallister Park, Middlesbrough.
Emergency services were called to Cotswold Avenue at about 5.20pm on Sunday.
He suffered head and internal injuries, and is now being treated for his life-threatening injuries at the Royal Victoria Infirmary, in Newcastle.
The taxi had been travelling from the direction of Cranmore Road when the accident happened.
Police are appealing for the driver of an ice cream van thought to have been in the area at the time to contact them as he may have valuable information on the circumstances leading up to the collision, or even have had CCTV on board which could help.
One resident said after the incident: “We are all praying for the little boy. He is in our thoughts. We were all there for him and his family yesterday.”
Police inquiries into the collision are ongoing and anyone with information who has not yet spoken to police is asked to contact PC Amanda Stokes of the Cleveland and Durham Specialist Operations Unit on the non-emergency number 101 quoting event 38489.
