Police in Selby are appealing for witnesses, dashcam footage and any information that can help identify a vehicle involved in a collision where two children sustained minor injuries.

The collision occurred on the morning of Tuesday 5 December between 8.15am and 8.25am on Flaxley Road in Selby, near the junction of Kitchener Street, when the children, two 12-year-old girls, were crossing the road.

It involved a white coloured BMW - no other details are known about the car - that did not stop at the scene. The driver may not be aware that they were involved in the collision.

The two children were taken to hospital for treatment to minor injuries sustained as the vehicle’s nearside passed them.

Officers are appealing to the driver to come forward and for any witnesses to the collision, including anyone who can help identify the white BMW involved.

They are also appealing to anyone who may have any dashcam footage that may assist the investigation.

Anyone with information is asked to email 001282@northyorkshire.police.uk or call 101 and pass information for incident number 12230231280.
