A woman and three children were left injured after a 'hit-and-run' in Coventry. It happened on St James Lane in Willenhall yesterday morning (Sunday, September 22).

Police were called to the scene of the two-car crash at around 11am. Officers erected a large cordon where the collision had taken place, with part of the road said to be 'blocked off.'

All four received treatment at the scene before being taken to University Hospital Coventry in Walsgrave. Police said the driver and the occupants of the second vehicle left the scene with enquiries 'ongoing' to trace those involved.
