MAN ARRESTED
AFTER A CHILD WAS HIT BY SCRAMBLER BIKE IN BOOTLE
MERSEYSIDE Police have
confirmed that a 20 year old man from the Walton area has been
arrested on suspicion of causing serious injury through dangerous
driving, following a road traffic collision. The incident happened
in Bootle on Tuesday, 5 November 2013 and it resulted in an 8 year
old boy being seriously injured. It was reported by Police at the
time that a scrambler type bike and a quad bike were being ridden,
at the time of collision, that happened at 6.50pm, on Beatrice
Street in Bootle. They also reported to the media that they believe
that after the bike collided with the boy, the rider of the bike
rode away from the scene. The quad bike also is reported to have
left the scene as well. Just before the arrest Detective Inspector
Jon Smith, said:- "This case highlights the dangers of
vehicles being ridden where they are not meant to be. Sometimes the
riders of these bikes don't understand the consequences for local
communities and the harm that the use of these bikes can cause. The
boy who was hit by the bike is in hospital and has serious injuries.
The manner that this vehicle was driven put the lives of all those
who were in that area this afternoon in jeopardy. Anyone who takes
to our roads and open spaces illegally poses a danger to pedestrians
and other motorists. We are determined to bring this offender to
justice and would urge anyone who may have witnessed the incident or
anyone who knows the rider's identity to get in touch and give us
information to assist our case." An investigation into the
full circumstances of the incident is ongoing. Anyone with
information is asked to contact Merseyside Police on 0151 777 5444
or Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
