Warboys collision arrest made

Police investigating a collision in Warboys where a child was injured have made an arrest.

A call came into police just before 4.30pm on Saturday (24 February), reporting a 12-year-old girl had been hit by a car in Warboys High Street and the driver had failed to stop.

It was initially thought the girl had suffered serious but not life-threatening injuries and was taken to Hinchingbrooke Hospital in Huntingdon, however it has been confirmed her injuries were not deemed to be serious.

A 21-year-old man was arrested at his home in Warboys at about 7.30pm on Saturday evening and has since been charged with failing to stop at the scene of a collision, driving without insurance, driving without a licence, failing to report a collision and production of cannabis.

He is due to appear at Peterborough Magistrates’ Court today (Monday).
