Police are appealing for witnesses after a car failed to stop following a collision with a schoolgirl on High Road, Swaythling on Wednesday (March 13).

Police were called to the scene at 4.10pm following reports of a collision involving a car and a young girl.

The 11-year-old was in collision with a light green Ford Mondeo, which did not stop and drove off along Burgess Road.

The girl suffered a broken ankle and facial injuries.

PC Matthew Willcocks, from our Joint Roads Policing Unit, said: “We are appealing for help to trace the driver of this car, which has been described as having no hubcaps.

“So if you were in this area yesterday afternoon and you think you may have seen a light green Mondeo please get in touch.

“We’re particularly keen to hear from any motorists or cyclists with dash cams or helmet cams, who were travelling in the area, as they may have captured something on their cameras.”
