A four-year-old girl has been injured after she was hit by a Smart car in Dartford earlier today.

Police were called to the incident in London Road, Stone, shortly before 3.40pm on Tuesday (March 20).

A Kent Police spokeswoman said she suffered what were described as "minor injuries", however, a witness who was at the scene said a schoolgirl told him they think the victim's leg had been broken.

Witness Justin Scrutton said: “I drove past the scene and saw the child in the road with the ambulance crew attending to her.

"Shortly after, I spoke to a schoolgirl who witnessed the accident and she told me they think she may have broken her leg.”
