A GIRL “sustained bruising and swelling” after being hit by a car while crossing the road in Taunton.
A teenage girl was injured earlier this month (Friday, March 10) and "investigating officers are keen to hear from the driver involved", Avon and Somerset Police said.
A spokesperson for the force said: “A girl was crossing the road when the collision involving a blue 4×4 happened near Acacia Gardens. She sustained bruising and swelling.
“The female driver did stop at the scene and offered a lift to the girl if needed, but when this was declined she left without providing her details.
“We’d ask the driver, or anyone who has information or footage that could assist our enquiries, to call us on 101 and quote reference number 5223057993.
“If you can help, please call 101 and give the call handler the reference number 5223057993, or complete our online appeals form.”
