Police are appealing for any witnesses or drivers with a dashcam after a hit-and-run involving an 11-year-old girl and an unknown white VW Golf.

The incident happened as the youngster was using the crossing near the junction of Marton Road and Broadwell Road in Middlesbrough at around 7.45pm on Friday, July 15.

Another vehicle which was in lane one stopped, however the Golf allegedly failed to stop at the crossing and “clipped” the child, before continuing on without stopping towards the hospital.
