A 14-year-old girl has died after a car veered off the road and smashed into two children.
The terrifying incident happened in a residential area of Leicester shortly after 11am today.
Investigators says the car ‘left the road’ prior to the tragedy and confirmed they have not made any arrests.
A second girl, also 14, suffered injuries which are not believed to be life-threatening.
A man in his 30s was taken to hospital in Coventry to be treated for serious injuries.
The incident happened on the junction of Braunstone Lane and Mortimer Way, Leicestershire Police said, and involved a black Vauxhall Astra.
Detective sergeant Lisa Wood said: ‘While we’ve spoken to a number of people who were in the area at the time, I am particularly keen to speak to any motorists with dashcams in their vehicles.
‘I’d like to speak to anyone who saw the Astra prior to it leaving the road or who saw the collision occur.
‘Any information you have could help my investigation.’
