Girl, 6, suffers broken leg after being hit by e-scooter

Police were told the rider apologised but did not stop

A six-year-old girl suffered a broken leg and a 10-year-old boy was left with cuts and grazes to his arm after they were hit by an electric scooter.

Derbyshire Police said the children were struck while walking with an adult in Harvey Road, Derby, shortly after 15:30 BST on 27 May.

Officers were told the rider, described as a woman in her late teens, apologised but did not stop.

The force has appealed for witnesses to come forward.

The children were walking between Wyndham primary school and a post office

Traffic management officer Steve Hughes said: "The rider in this incident appears to have left without giving anyone her name, and two children have not only suffered injuries, but have been left understandably shocked and upset by this incident."

The rider was described as having slightly curly black hair and wearing a black hooded-top.
