Appeal following collision involving moped and teenage boy in Leasowe

We are appealing for information following a collision involving a teenage boy and a moped in Leasowe.

At around 7pm on Wednesday 16 November, a 14-year-old boy was crossing a road on Gardenside  when he was hit by a moped which failed to stop at the scene.

The victim suffered a fractured wrist and was taken to hospital for treatment.

We are appealing for any witnesses, CCTV, doorbell and dash camera footage which may assist the investigation.

“I would urge anyone who was in the vicinity and saw a moped on the night riding recklessly to please contact us. I also ask residents to please check your CCTV and doorbell footage to see if it captures a moped being driven at high speed.”
