A toddler and a 12-year-old girl have been seriously injured in a hit-and-run crash in Lancashire.

A blue Volkswagen Golf "lost control" and hit a red Golf in Harwood Street, Blackburn, at 15:00 BST on Friday.

The occupants of the blue Golf got out of it and one of them got into the boot of a white Vauxhall Astra van which drove off towards Eanam, police said.

A 12-year-old girl has a fractured skull and internal injuries. The two-year-old injured her head and neck.

Both children, passengers of the red Golf, are being treated at Royal Manchester Children's Hospital.
