Young girls suffer cuts and bruises in collision - appeal

Two young girls suffered cuts and bruises in a collision last month and officers are appealing for any outstanding witnesses, or anyone who may have dashcam footage, to come forward.

A grey Ford Focus struck a 6-year-old girl while the girl was crossing Churchfield Road in Upton St Leonards at around 3.35pm on Friday 21 October. She fell into a 2-year-old girl, who also suffered cuts and bruises.

A Stagecoach bus had stopped to let the girls pass in front of them when the Ford Focus collided with the 6-year-old girl.

The driver of the Focus has been interviewed by police but officers are continuing their investigation and asking for anyone else who can help to come forward.

Anyone with information is asked to contact Gloucestershire Constabulary through the website, quoting incident 306 of 21 October: https://www.gloucestershire.police.uk/contact/af/contact-us/us/a-matter-involving-driving-vehicles-or-a-road-traffic-incident/
