Officers
were called at 9.15pm to reports that a person had been struck by a vehicle and
had been seriously hurt on Derby Road, Risley.
Adam
Barry, from Sandiacre, had been riding his bike at the time of the incident and
was taken to Queen’s Medical Centre but sadly passed away. The family of the
15-year-old are being supported by specialist officers and our thoughts are
with them, and Adam’s friends and loved ones, at this time.
The
vehicle involved in the incident was travelling from Borrowash towards Risley
when the collision occurred just outside the village. The vehicle did not stop
at the scene and it is believed drove through Stanton, Ilkeston and Heanor
following the incident.
The road
was closed as officers investigated the scene and reopened at 5am.
Officers want to speak to anyone who was in the area, or in Stanton or Ilkeston, between 8.30pm and 9.45pm – in particular those drivers with dashcam footage or CCTV that may have captured a car with significant damage to the front nearside area of vehicle.

Detective
Sergeant Darren Muggleton, from the force’s collision investigation unit, said:
“My thoughts are with Adam’s family and friends and I would ask that their
privacy is respected at this time.
“Officers
are working on a number of significant lines of enquiry, however, we still
require the public’s help to secure evidence vital to our investigation.
“I would
urge anyone who was in the Risley area at the times above to please contact us
if they witnessed anything that may be of help. In particular those with CCTV
that shows Derby Road and any drivers who may have dashcam footage that shows a
car with significant damage to the nearside front.
“We also
believe that, following the collision, the car left the scene in the direction
of Sandiacre and drove through Stanton, Ilkeston and Heanor. My same appeal
goes to anyone with CCTV or dashcam footage in those areas that may help our enquiries
into this incident.
“I would
like to thank the members of the public who have already been in touch with us
and have passed on vital information.”
Anyone
with any information is asked to contact us immediately on the 101 number with
reference 1422-250420.
