The driver of the vehicle stopped at the scene.

A worker at the nearby Gateway care home said: “I’d just started my shift at around 8 o’clock and we heard people shouting ‘oh my god, oh my god’.  A little boy, who was around 12 years old, was lying on the floor. The ambulance and the air ambulance came too."

The road was closed by police following the incident, and people were being asked to avoid the area.

The police corden has now been removed and the slip road from Wakefield Road to Dudley Hill Roundabout reopened at around 11.30am.
