POLICE are appealing for information after a child was left with serious injuries following a road traffic collision in Barnsley.
At 7pm on July 11, police received reports that a red Vauxhall Corsa was travelling along Barnsley Road in Darfield, when it's thought to have overtaken a silver parked car.
Officers believe that as the Vauxhall Corsa passed the parked car, it collided with a 10-year-old boy from Barnsley who was crossing the road on his bicycle.
He suffered serious injuries including a fractured leg, a head injury and grazing to his chest. He is currently being treated at Sheffield Children’s Hospital. The driver did not sustain any injuries.
Police would like to speak with the owner of the silver parked car, which was believed to be parked on Barnsley Road at the time of the incident, as the owner of this vehicle may be able to assist officers with their enquiries.
Police are appealing to anyone who witnessed the incident or anyone with information that could assist officers to call South Yorkshire Police on 101 quoting incident number 1090 of July 11, 2013.
