The youngster was taken to a central London hospital where he died in the early hours of this morning. His family are aware.

The car driver stopped at the scene and is assisting police with their enquiries.

A relative told the Sun: ‘It’s a very sad time, they don’t want to say anything at the moment, we are all so sad, it’s such an awful thing to have happened.

He added: ‘It’s a 40mph limit on that road, but so many cars go much too fast, often much faster than the speed limit. It really needs to be stopped or more children will also be killed.’
