POLICE are appealing for help in tracing a driver after a girl was knocked down at a zebra crossing.

Emergency services were called to Bedells Lane in Wilmslow - next to The Carters Arms - around 4pm on Thursday, December 12.

Thankfully, she was not seriously injured, but it now appears a witness gave incorrect details at the scene.

A Cheshire Police spokesman said: "We are dealing with a report of a young female being knocked down at the zebra crossing on Bedells Lane, Wilmslow, next to The Carters Arms at approximately 4pm yesterday afternoon.

"Thankfully, the young female is not seriously injured but we would very much like to trace the driver.

"A witness did stop and pass a vehicle registration, but this appears to be incorrect.

"If you witnessed this collision and can assist with our enquiries, please call 101 and quote IML 587458."
