COPS are hunting for a motorbike rider after a five-year-old girl was left with “life-changing injuries” in a hit-and-run.
The youngster was on a pavement outside her home in Weston-super-Mare, Somerset, yesterday when the rider of an electric motorbike “collided with her” at around 7.50pm.
The rider, who was seen wearing a black balaclava, then fled from the scene with the girl seriously injured, said cops.
The girl is currently being treated for her injuries in hospital and CCTV enquiries are being carried out.
Cops are now urgently appealing to the public to help identify the rider of the electric motorcycle.
He is described as a white male, around 17 to 18 years old, who was wearing black clothes, a hooded top, and a balaclava.
The rider’s jacket had a distinctive motif printed or embroidered across the rear of the shoulders.
The electric motorcycle is a distinctive Surron or Talaria style, electric blue in colour with black accents.
Avon and Somerset Police said that the front forks appear to be wrapped in white or reflective striping.
Cops are now seeking the identity of the rider and the location of the electric motorcycle after the shocking incident on Brompton Road.
