Three children taken to hospital after being 'hit by car as they played on pavement'

Three children have been taken to hospital after they were hit by a car while playing on the pavement.

The Police Service of Northern Ireland was called just before 5pm on Sunday following a report that a vehicle struck two girls and a boy as it reversed in west Belfast.

The youngsters were treated in hospital and a man has been arrested following the road traffic collision in Black View Ridge.

He was held on suspicion of driving with excess alcohol in breath, causing grievous bodily injury by dangerous driving and failing to stop, failing to report and failing to remain where an accident occurred causing injury.

The suspect remains in custody.

Officers are urging anyone who saw what happened or had dashcam or CCTV footage of the incident to contact them.
