A 17-year-old girl is taken to hospital after being hit by a black Range Rover in a hit-and-run in Midlothian, Scotland, on Friday afternoon. Police say the collision happens on Old Dalkeith Road at about 4.30pm, and the driver does not stop at the scene.
Police Scotland is investigating and appealing for witnesses. Officers ask anyone who saw the crash, or saw the vehicle beforehand, to come forward. They also encourage drivers in the area to review any dash-cam footage that may have captured the incident. Reports describe it as a frightening incident for the pedestrian and note that the girl requires hospital treatment.
While outlets focus on the same collision and ongoing probe, some describe a “manhunt” as police work to trace the vehicle and driver. All accounts point to information being provided to Police Scotland and reference an incident number linked to October 16, with inquiries continuing to establish the full circumstances.
