Hit and run drivers hunted after teenage boys injured in Market Drayton and Shrewsbury
Police are hunting two hit and run drivers after two teenage boys were injured in separate incidents in Market Drayton and Shrewsbury.
In the first incident a 14-year-old boy was hit by a black car in Stafford Street, Market Drayton, near to the junction with Great Hales Street.
It happened at around 8.30am on Friday. The teenager was not seriously injured.
The driver, believed to be a woman, failed to stop at the time of the collision. It is thought the car also struck a metal road sign and cone.
On Saturday a 13-year-old boy was knocked off his bike in a hit and run in Shrewsbury.
The boy was riding his bike across Grange Road when he was struck by a car at about 11am.
Police say he was hit at the Longden Road roundabout by a dark coloured Land Rover that failed to stop at the scene after the collision. The boy suffered minor injuries.
A West Midlands Ambulance spokesman said: "We were called at 11.01 to reports of a collision between a car and a cyclist.
"A teenage boy was treated for minor injuries and discharged at the scene."
Enquiries are ongoing and West Mercia Police are appealing for anyone who saw the collision or has dashcam footage to come forward.
