5-6 police Astra estates down the front be 'the rock shop' also a "forensic collision investigation" van

No sign at all of any collisions though

Road is closed off from bowling alley to floral pavilion

Took pics, will add when home.

Anyone know any more??

Jungle drums from elsewhere say 2 children knocked down. I hope they're ok if that is what happened.

i didnt see any ambulances or any sign of any ambulances or any 'people injuries'

this is the view from before the Floral Pavillion


this is one from outside the Floral Pavillion


this 4X4 seems to be the centre of attention


didn't know what happened here, but there's a police car with it's bonnet up.


more police activity around the car, no idea who the pedestrians were but seconds before the picture they were all examining the front nearside wheel arch of the silver 4X4


also again, not sure if the brown cushion that you can see on the floor to the left of the 4X4 is of any significance... but looks odd being there.

sorry about the crap pictures, they were taken on my iphone4 but was a bit cold so was trying to keep my hands warm so was a bit shakey

Apparently the children have both been taken to hospital.

Just found this on another forum

RE: New Brighton Incident


I was there before, its a little boy with face/leg injuries and little girl with injuries both hit with same car,the boy is badly hurt."

Apparently they are both at alder hey, also on the picture of the car you can see an officer taking measurement of the road, probable trying to figure out the speed of the car

How awful.....hope they are both ok

I was at New Brighton today and a young boy about 6 & his sister who was not much older had ran out infront of a car and been hit. The boy had hit his head and badly damaged his leg and the girl was put in a neck brace. The boys mum picked the boy up to take him in the ambulance & he passed out. There was 2 ambulances and a paramedic in a Responce car came after. They were there for about 30mins focusing more on the boy who looked like he had lost quite a lot of blood. A doctor was also at the scene. There where 4 police cars. 2 police cars escorted the ambulance that had the boy in at the front and 2 at the back. They drove off with the sirens on and the second ambulance followed. It's believed they where taken to Alder Hay Hospital. Hope they are okay.

Just been on radio city news.
