A TEENAGER suffered a fractured skull after being hit by a car in Bath.

The incident happened at around 9.15am on Friday (October 4) at the junction of Newbridge Road and the A431 Newbridge Hill.

“The driver – a middle-aged white man in a red car – had been turning out of Newbridge Hill as the boy was crossing the road,” an Avon & Somerset Police spokesperson said.

“He stopped and offered the boy a lift but the boy refused and walked home.”

However, the teenager went to hospital after telling family what happened and was found to have suffered a fractured skull, they added. He is now recovering at home.

The collision was reported by the family in the early hours of October 5.

“We’d ask the driver to come forward, and would like to hear from anyone who saw what happened or has dashcam footage or information which could help,” the police spokesperson added.

Anyone who can help should contact police on 101 and give the call handler the reference number 5224262488.
