The inquest into the death of a schoolboy who was hit by a bus has returned a verdict of accidental death.

Dartford boy Matthew Hobbs, aged 11, was killed after a collision with a Fastrack bus in January this year.

He was on his way to school at the time of the incident.

At the inquest at Dartford County Court on Wednesday morning coroner Roger Hatch said: "The evidence I have heard makes it quite clear this was a very tragic and unfortunate accident."
