A 16-year-old girl has suffered serious injuries following a collision in Blackpool.
Police attended the incident just after midnight on Saturday, where it was reported that a white vehicle travelling along Whitegate Drive, had collided with two passengers on an e-scooter, and then left the scene without stopping.
The driver of the white vehicle remains outstanding and police are appealing to them, or anyone who knows their whereabouts, to come forward.
One of the riders of the e-scooter, a 16-year-old girl, suffered serious head injuries and was taken to hospital, where she remains.
A 17-year-old boy was arrested at the scene and is currently in custody.
Police would like to speak to anyone who may have seen a white vehicle – possibly a hatchback type car – driving in the area around midnight. They are also interested in any footage from Whitegate Drive, Hornby Road or Mere Road in the moments before or after the collision.
Anyone with information or footage, can call 101 quoting log 0003 of February 23, or email: [email protected]
