Investigators are appealing for witnesses to the collision to come forward.
Officers are appealing for witnesses following a collision that left three schoolgirls seriously injured in Stockport.
The collision is thought to have happened when a car travelling at speed mounted the pavement to avoid oncoming traffic colliding with the pedestrians before driving off on Tuesday afternoon.
In an appeal made today, Greater Manchester Police said,
At around 4.30pm on 10 September 2024, we were called to a report of a hit and run road traffic incident on Whitelow Road, Heaton Moor in Stockport.
Initial enquiries suggest that three teenage schoolgirls were walking on the pavement, at the same time a car was travelling at speed behind them and swerved onto the pavement to miss another oncoming car.
The victims, three teenage girls, were taken to hospital with serious injuries to their legs which will require surgery.
Sergeant Paul Lunt, of GMPs Road’s Policing Unit, said: “The victims were just walking on the street when a car mounted the pavement and collided with them causing them serious injuries before driving off, leaving the girls injured by the road.
“There were a number of people at the scene either walking past on Whitelow Road and we would like to speak to anyone who witnessed this incident, or who may have dash cam footage, CCTV or ring doorbell footage showing a Silver VW Golf car driving in the area around 4pm.
“Anyone with information or footage is asked to contact police on 101, quoting log number 2249 of 10/09/24. You can also use our Live Chat service on the GMP website.
“Alternatively, contact Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111”.
