The sister of a teenager badly hurt after being hit by a car in Wigan is trying to find two people who helped her
Two medical professionals stopped to help a teenager who was seriously injured after a collision with a car, it has been revealed.
The 16-year-old girl is fighting for her life in hospital after being hit by a Seat Arona on Darlington Street. Wigan, shortly after 6pm on Tuesday.
The driver stayed at the scene and police issued a witness appeal earlier today as they piece together what happened.
The teen’s sister has now taken to social media in a bid to trace two people who helped to care for her in the immediate aftermath of the collision.
In a post in a community Facebook group, she shared Wigan Today’s article on the incident and wrote: “There were two people that helped my sister last night (this accident) – a nurse and another medical professional. Please can you reach out? You saved my sister’s life. Without you two there, things would have been a lot worse and the outcome would have been so, so different.”
No arrests have been made following the incident.
A spokesman for Greater Manchester Police’s serious collision investigation unit (SCIU) said: “We are asking for anyone with information to please come forward.
"This includes anyone who saw the female prior to the collision, witnessed the incident itself or has dash-cam footage of the incident.
"You can contact the SCIU directly on 0161 856 4741 or contact the police on our Live Chat service at gmp.police.uk, quoting log 2598 of December 30.
“Alternatively, you can contact the independent charity Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555111.”
