A 10-year-old boy died after colliding with a car on Anlaby Road.
He was riding a bicycle when the accident occurred near the intersection with Selby Street on Monday night.
The boy was traveling with his friend who was also beaten, and is being treated in hospital for his “life-threatening” injuries.
The road had to be closed for several hours after the incident at 6:10 p.m., leading to both children being rushed to the nearby Hull Royal Infirmary.
However, one of the victims died shortly after, Humberside police confirmed.
