A YOUNG mum-of-four was killed and her three-year-old daughter injured after being hit by a car in Leicester.
The 27-year-old, who hasn’t been named, was walking home from a shopping trip when she was caught up in the four-car horror smash.
She was tragically pronounced dead at the scene but her child miraculously escaped with minor injuries.
Two of the cars in the horror at around 6.35pm yesterday were parked at the time but the 20-year-old driver of one of the vehicles fled the scene.
He was later arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving and has since been released pending further inquiries.
Detective Sergeant Ed Des-Chanelle, from the serious collision investigation unit, said: “Our inquiries into the circumstances surrounding the collision are continuing, however we would like to speak to anyone who may have witnessed the incident and hasn’t yet spoken with officers.
“Also if you have video recording equipment installed in your vehicles can you please check the footage and contact us if you captured any part of the incident.”
Anyone with information has been asked to call police on 101.
