A 23-year-old man admits causing the death of a 12-year-old boy in a hit-and-run crash in Coventry. The boy, Keaton Slater, is said to be fatally injured after being struck by the man’s car while he is on his way home from school.
The BBC reports that Dolars Aleksanders’ car hits Keaton Slater as he travels home from school in Coventry. A separate report says Aleksanders pleads guilty to causing death by dangerous driving, with the boy pronounced dead at the scene. Both accounts refer to a collision on Radford Road in Coventry, in June 2024.
The Daily Mail adds that Aleksanders later flees, reportedly going to Latvia, before the case proceeds in court. The BBC focuses on the admission of guilt in relation to the crash, while the Daily Mail provides further details about the plea and the aftermath of the incident.
