A driver has been arrested after two pedestrians were hit by a car in Farnborough.

At around 5:10pm on Tuesday (3 October) a 39 year-old man and a 5 year-old girl were involved in a collision with a blue Citroen C3 at a pedestrian crossing on Hawthorn Road outside Smyths Toy Superstore.

The man was not hurt and the girl was treated for cuts and bruises.

Hampshire Police say a 50 year old man from Farnborough has been arrested on suspicion of attempted GBH and dangerous driving.

The area was busy and officers believe that some people may have recorded footage on their mobile phones that could help their enquiries.

They would also like to speak to the driver of a silver Ford transit van who may have seen what happened.

Anyone with information is asked to call 101, quoting crime reference number 44230404120.
