Hit and run in Derry: PSNI appeal

The road traffic collision occurred on the Main Street area in Eglinton.

Police have said that just after 6.45pm, a 14-year-old girl was knocked off her bike by a car.

The girl received a scrape to her leg as a result of the incident but did not require medical attention.
