Police are hunting for the driver of a car that failed to stop after hitting a 12-year-old girl in a Cambridgeshire village today. The girl was taken to hospital and Cambridgeshire police are appealing for witnesses to come forward.
She was injured in what police describe as a “fail-to-stop collision” in Warboys this afternoon (Saturday).
“A call came into police just before 4.30pm, reporting a 12-year-old girl had been hit by a car in the High Street and the driver had failed to stop,” said a police spokesperson.
“The girl suffered serious but not life-threatening injuries and has been taken to Hinchingbrooke Hospital in Huntingdon.”
Sergeant Duncan Hall, from the Beds, Cambs and Herts Road Policing Unit, said: “We believe the car involved is a dark-coloured old shape Nissan Micra.
“It was travelling from the direction of the clock tower end of the High Street, towards the junction with the pond in the middle of the village, when it hit the girl who was crossing the road.
“I am keen to hear from anyone who has information about who the driver is, or who witnessed the collision, as a matter of urgency.”
Anyone with information or dash-cam footage should report online or call 101 quoting incident 326 of 24 February.
