A car struck a 16-year-old boy, killing him horribly, close to Bournemouth Airport.
Just around 9.40 p.m. yesterday, the adolescent was struck and murdered on Parley Lane in Christchurch.
Despite the fact that police and paramedics arrived on the scene to help, the young man, who was from the neighbourhood, was declared dead.
Both the coroner and his next of kin have been contacted.
Officers arrested a man on suspicion of driving offences following the fatal collision between a car and a pedestrian.
Dorset Police is now appearing for any witnesses or anyone with dashcam footage to come forward.
Inspector Craig Tatton, of the roads policing team, said: ‘Tragically, a young person has lost his life and our thoughts are with his family at this incredibly difficult time.
‘We are conducting a thorough investigation to establish the full circumstances of the incident and I would urge any witnesses to please contact us.
‘I would also like to hear from anyone who may have captured anything relevant on dashcam footage.
‘We are aware that the current road closure has a large impact at the location and I am very grateful for everyone’s patience while it is necessary to stay in place to enable us to gather all required evidence.’
Last week, three teenagers were killed after a car crashed into a tree.
