A MUM launched a frantic search for her teenage son – unaware he had already been killed in a suspected hit-and-run.
Steven Mcilquham, 15, died after the crash in Wishaw, near Glasgow at around 9.30pm on New Year's Day.
Schoolboy Steven was run over as he crossed the road and a 20-year-old man arrested.
The Daily Record reports that worried mum Amanda was oblivious to the tragedy and launched a frantic bid to track him down when he didn't answer his phone.
Neighbour Mary Ferguson told them Amanda was still on the lookout at 11pm.
She said: "Amanda was worried sick.
"She had no idea where he had go to as he was not answering his mobile.
"I think she had been expecting him to phone her earlier in the night.

The neighbour, who stayed next to the family for 12 years, paid tribute to the tragic lad.
She said: "He was so lovely and kind. Just a really nice young boy with a very big heart.
