Police are appealing for help in catching a driver following a hit and run, which has left a teenager with potentially life changing injuries in Nottinghamshire.

The 14 year old girl was left unconscious by the side of the A52 near Upper Saxondale a month ago today (3rd SEPT).

The driver of the car involved briefly stopped, before driving off.

Investigating officers now want to speak to anyone who witnessed the incident or has dash-cam footage which could help with their inquiries.

The girl and her friend had got off a bus at the Henson Lane bus stop at around 3.40pm on 3 September 2022 when the incident took place.

As they crossed the road the 14-year-old was reportedly hit by a car, which was described as dark in colour and as having a rounded bonnet.

Police Constable Kirsty MacDonald, of Nottinghamshire Police, said:

“A girl was left with serious injuries that have required hospital treatment and continue to impact on her daily life.

“It is extremely important that anyone with information about this incident gets in touch with the police right away, so that we can better establish exactly what happened.

“We would ask anyone who was in the area at the time, particularly those with dash-cam fitted to their vehicle, to get in touch with us immediately, as they may be able to assist us with our inquiries."
