An 11-year-old girl was taken to hospital after a hit and run with two electric unicycles.
Emergency services were called to reports of a crash in Shoot-Up-Hill, near the junction with St Cuthbert’s Road, Kilburn, at 2.50pm on Monday (July 15).
Metropolitan Police officers and the London Ambulance Service attended and found an 11-year-old girl injured in a collision with two electric unicycles, Scotland Yard said.
The riders of the unicycles, which are self–balancing electric vehicles with one wheel and footplates to stand on, did not stop at the scene.
Sadly a pedestrian, now in hospital, was hit by a vehicle on the crossing by St Cuthbert's Road. Road closure will remain until the condition of the casualty is ascertained.🙏 https://t.co/giSau30akr pic.twitter.com/KuKCTlMRbr
