A-THREE-YEAR old girl has died after being hit by a car in a “terrible incident”, cops confirmed tonight.
A woman has been arrested at the scene on suspicion of causing serious injury by dangerous driving following the crash yesterday in Leamington Spa, Warwickshire.
The child, who has not yet been named, suffered severe head injuries when a black Skoda Citigo collided with her at around 5.45pm yesterday on Brunswick Street, Leamington Spa, Warwickshire.
She was taken to hospital where she died this evening.
Warwickshire Police confirmed today that a woman, 32, from Leamington was arrested at the scene.
Superintendent Emma Bastone from Warwickshire Police said: “Our thoughts remain with the family of the little girl following this terrible incident.
“We have launched a thorough investigation into how the collision occurred and we’re keen to speak to anyone who witnessed the incident or saw the child or the car in the moments leading up to the collision.
“We’re also keen to speak to the driver of a silver or blue Mazda we believe was driving behind the Skoda at the time of the collision but left the scene.
“We’d like anyone in the area with CCTV or dash cam footage from the time of incident to get in touch with us as soon as possible so we can check it for evidence.”
