The PSNI are appealing for witnesses to the incident on Friday evening.

A PSNI statement said: “The collision, which was reported just before 5.40pm, occurred on Cotton Road, in the vicinity of the bus stop opposite the old primary school.

“A teenage girl, aged 14 years old, was injured as a result of the collision, which involved a white Renault van. She was taken to hospital where she remains today (Saturday).”
