States police are seeking witnesses to a collision on Route des Genets in St Brelade on Wednesday evening that resulted in a teenage girl being flown to Southampton Hospital with serious head injuries.
States police said that the incident took place just outside the Les Ruisseaux Estate, between 5.10pm and 5.15pm, involving a 14 year old pedestrian – who was visiting the Island from France – and a grey Honda CRV driven by a 70-year-old man.
The car was believed to have been travelling eastbound along Route des Genets towards St Aubin’s.
A spokesperson for the force stated: “The car and pedestrian have collided in the road, which resulted in serious head injuries to the girl.
“The driver was not injured. No other persons or vehicles are believed to be involved.”
The girl was treated on scene by paramedics before being transported to the General Hospital.
Her condition was described as “serious but stable”, but due to the seriousness of the head injury she was urgently flown to Southampton for on-going medical treatment.
Her family are aware.
Police would like to speak with anyone who may have seen the car prior to the collision, seen or heard the collision itself, or have dash camera or CCTV footage in the moments before, during, and after the incident.
Anyone with any information is being asked to contact police on 612612 or the independent charity Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111 or via their Anonymous Online Form at Crimestoppers-uk.org
