A HEAD teacher has called for urgent action after a two-year-old girl was hit by a car outside a school.

Sarah Hanson, head of St Barnabas CE Primary School, is now demanding a permanent crossing and a lollipop lady in Green Lane, Worcester.

She said the girl was hit in the street at about 3.10pm on Thursday, suffering a broken ankle.

Ms Hanson said: "My concern is that someone is going to be killed. It's absolutely crazy.

"At home time one of our mums was crossing the road with her four-year-old boy and her baby.

"The little girl was hit by the side of a car. She's got a broken ankle. She was upset and shocked. We feel so sad for the little girl.

"There was a back-up of cars up the road. She crossed half way. The car didn't see her.

"He's a moving car and they collided. He wasn't speeding. The little girl ran into the car."

Ms Hanson said CCTV footage of the incident appeared to show the car travelling at around 25-miles-per-hour.

She said: "What's happened is we have no crossing control. I'm trying to get a permanent crossing here.

"I've been in touch with our councillors. I've written to our MP. It's so dangerous.

"We lost our lollipop lady in December 2016. No one has applied for the job. The job could be seen as inconvenient hours.

"[But] we need a lollipop lady and a permanent crossing. Twice a day almost 1,000 students cross here."

She said at least half of her 420 pupils cross the road to get to school, in addition to the children from Green Lane pre-school and Bishop Perowne CE College.

She added that she had reached 'breaking point' with the situation, following another crash in the road on Monday, September 18.

Ms Hanson said: "A car drove into a parked car, which was one of our parent's. The children had got out of the car. That was in the morning.

"If the children had been in it that would have been very serious. The car was a write-off."

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.

Anyone with information about the incident can ring police on 101 quoting 465s of Thursday, November 23.

Worcestershire County Council was approached for comment.
