A seven-year-old boy has died after being hit by a car while riding a scooter outside his home in Melbourne.

"Another neighbour was helping him to do CPR," he said.

The driver stopped and spoke to police.

Saad's uncle Kazi Islam said his parents were "heartbroken" by the death of their son, who he said was "always happy".

"We just want everyone's prayers. That's the most important thing, I guess," he said.

"We forgive him, you know. And of course we pray to God that everybody, we should be very careful."
