A TWO-YEAR-OLD girl has been hit by a car outside a school.

The girl suffered a broken ankle in the crash in Green Lane, Worcester, which happened at about 3.10pm yesterday.

She was crossing the road with her mother and four-year-old brother, who attends St Barnabas CE Primary School.

West Mercia Police said the driver left the scene in his black Seat Leon and that the little girl was taken to hospital by her family members.

Officers conducted a voluntary interview with a man in his 20s, from Worcester, as part of ongoing investigations. 

A school petition calling for a permanent crossing in the road has received over 400 signatures.
