A schoolgirl is fighting for her life in hospital after a hit and run crash between a Vauxhall and a Bentley last night, as two men fled the scene.
The 12-year-old victim was a passenger inside the Astra at the time of the crash on Colney Hatch Lane in north London.
She is said to have suffered critical injuries in the incident and is in a life threatening condition.
Police have started an investigation after the two people in the Bentley Continental fled the scene on foot before officers arrived.
Detectives have appealed to the public to help track down the pair.
A spokesman for the Met Police said: “Detectives are appealing for help in tracing two people who failed to stop at the scene of a serious collision in Barnet.
“At 22:12hrs on Saturday, 20 August, police were called to a road traffic collision between a Vauxhall Astra and a Bentley Continental on Colney Hatch Lane N11.
“One of the occupants of the Astra, a 12-year-old girl, sustained critical injuries.
“She was taken to hospital where she remains in a life-threatening condition. The girl’s family are aware and are being supported by specialist officers.
“The Bentley is thought to have contained two males, both of whom left the scene on foot prior to the arrival of police. The car has not been reported as lost or stolen.
“Detectives from the Serious Collision Investigation Unit are investigating and they are appealing for any witnesses, and anyone with dash cam or mobile phone footage, to contact them by calling 101 giving ref number CAD 7888 20AUG22.”
No one else involved in the crash is in a life threatening condition, police confirmed.
