A 12-YEAR-OLD boy has been left fighting for his life after a tragic hit-and-run on the Costa del Sol.

The incident left the child with a fractured skull after a white Opel Corsa mowed him down in Torremolinos, Malaga, on Tuesday morning.

According to Spanish media reports, the boy was walking to school when the car struck him on a pedestrian crossing on Calle Francisco de Jorge Gallardo at around 9.45am.
