A North Lanarkshire toddler has died after being hit by a van in the Channel Islands.

Three-year-old Clinton Pringle was flown to hospital in Southampton following the accident in Jersey.

The tot had been on holiday with his family when the tragedy happened.

His father Michael Pringle told BBC Jersey his son's death would leave a "gaping hole in the lives and hearts of so many". 

"My wife Stacey and I, along with our extended family and friends - many of whom have travelled to Southampton to be by Clinton's side during his battle for life - are absolutely devastated by his untimely death," he said.

Clinton was "an incredibly strong character" who was "special" to everyone, Mr Pringle said.

Police in Jersey arrested a 38-year-old woman on suspicion of road traffic offences.

She was later bailed.
