The pedestrian was treated at the scene and had to be taken to Queen Alexandra Hospital. He escaped with relatively minor injuries after suffering a shoulder injury.

A spokesman from Hampshire Constabulary said at the time: ‘We were to a report of a road traffic collision involving a VW Polo and a pedestrian on Anglesea Road in Portsmouth.

‘The teenage boy was taken to hospital to receive treatment for a shoulder injury.’

Now nearly two weeks on from the crash, police have confirmed no one has been arrested. And the force is not appealing to the public for information following the incident.
