Police appeal after toddler hit by car

THAMES Valley Police is appealing for witnesses following a serious injury collision in Great Kimble, on Friday, August 4.

At about 3.35pm on Friday (4/8) a black Volkswagen Golf, which was travelling from the direction of Aylesbury towards Princes Risborough, was involved in a collision with a toddler in Lower Icknield Way, the B4009, near the Swan public house.

The driver of the Volkswagen remained on the scene. The two-year-old boy who was hit, was taken to Stoke Mandeville Hospital and was later transferred to the John Radcliffe Hospital in Oxford where he remains in a critical condition.

The road was closed in the area while emergency services were in attendance and officers from the Joint Operations Unit for Roads Policing began an investigation. The road was re-opened by 6.15pm.

Investigating officer Police Constable Nigel Rosier, from Roads Policing based in Amersham police station, said: “It is very important that anyone who witnessed the collision who has not already spoken to police comes forward with any details as this may help the investigation. The child involved has sadly suffered serious injuries as a result of the collision and specialist officers are supporting the family through this difficult time.”

If you have any information relating to this case, call 101 quoting reference ‘URN 964 4/8’, or contact Crimestoppers anonymously.
