Girl, 10, in critical condition after family's parked car hit by BMW sought by police in Ipswich

A 10-year-old girl is in critical condition in hospital after she was injured when a BMW which was being sought by police crashed into her family's parked car. 

The black BMW had been requested to stop by police just before 7pm on London Road in Ipswich town centre but the driver failed to do so.

The collision occurred a short while after. Police said the driver of the BMW then ran off in the direction of Civic Road.

The girl sustained a serious head injury and is being treated at Addenbrooke’s Hospital in Cambridge.

Her mother, father and a second younger child also went to the hospital to be checked over.

The driver has been described as wearing a long black padded coat with a white emoji design on the hood, light coloured tracksuit trousers and white trainers.

Police are appealing for any witnesses to help trace his whereabouts.
