Tributes to boy killed in hit-and-run

TRIBUTES have been left to an 11-year-old boy who was killed in a hit-and-run collision.

The youngster, named locally as Taylor Schofield, was treated by paramedics at the scene of the incident in Beswick, Manchester, but died of his injuries.

A grey Volkswagen Golf, believed to have been involved in the collision in Albert Street at 6.10pm on Saturday, left the scene and was found abandoned nearby.

A 31-year-old man attended a police station and was arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving. He remains in custody for questioning, Greater Manchester Police said.

Yesterday people tied tributes to a lamppost in Albert Street. One read: “No words will describe how missed you will be little man x Rest in paradise x.” A black Manchester United away shirt was also tied to the post.
