Girl, 6, and woman seriously hurt in crash

A six-year-old girl and 73-year-old woman suffered life-threatening injuries in a crash, Humberside Police has said.

Emergency services were called to a collision involving a black BMW X2 and a silver Mazda 2 on the A161 at Woodhouse, near Belton, North Lincolnshire, on Saturday at 10:50 GMT.

The BMW driver, a 40-year-old man, was arrested on suspicion of causing serious injury by dangerous driving, failing to stop at the scene of a collision and driving while under the influence of drink and drugs, the force said.

A 33-year-old woman was also arrested on suspicion of perverting the course of justice and assisting an offender. Both have since been released on conditional bail, the force added.

Police are appealing for witnesses or anyone with footage of the incident to get in touch.
