A police spokesman said the 13-year-old girl, who is local to Worthing, was struck by a car as she used the toucan crossing on the A259 Littlehampton Road, adjacent to the Yeoman pub, at about 8.05am on Thursday (September 20).

The crossing is designed for pedestrians and cyclists.

Police said the driver of the dark blue vehicle – possibly a BMW saloon – was travelling eastbound and got out of his car to shout at the girl, before making off from the scene.

Anyone with any information is asked to report it online or phone 101, quoting serial 332 of 20/09.
