A toddler has been run over and killed during an incident in Birmingham last night.
Shortly after 7pm, a 13-year-old girl and a two-and-a-half-year-old boy were walking along Burney Lane in the city when a white Toyota MR2 car collided with them. The car dragged the boy along the road for around 300 yards before speeding off.
