Girl injured on Stonecot Hill crossing

Stonecot Hill crossing accident 1

A young girl has been injured while crossing Stonecot Hill with her mother. Police and paramedics attended the scene at around midday today after the girl was hit by a Merton council waste vehicle while using the crossing island just south of Ash Road. An air ambulance also attended the scene.

According to a witnesses, the girl who is said to be around four years old and her mother were in the central island of the crossing when she was struck by the vehicle.

As of 3.30pm, Stonecot Hill remains closed to traffic between the Woodstock and Burleigh Road while police examine the scene and the vehicle involved. Buses are being diverted via Sutton Common Road.

Our thoughts are with the girl and her family. We wish her a full and speedy recovery.

UPDATED 6.00pm: Stonecot Hill has reopened to traffic in both directions.
