A TEEN has died after he was hit by a car near Bournemouth Airport.

Cops are appealing for witnesses after the horror smash in Christchurch at 9.37pm last night.

Officers and the ambulance service rushed to the scene but a 16-year-old local boy died at the scene.

A man has been arrested on suspicion of driving offences.

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.”
