Sloper Road, Cardiff, collision: Man arrested

A man has been arrested in connection with a road traffic collision which happened on Sloper Road, Cardiff.

CCTV shows a speeding car mount the pavement, collide with a little girl, and drive off.

A 34-year-old man from Grangetown has been arrested on suspicion of dangerous driving, failing to stop a vehicle, and failing to report an accident involving a vehicle which he was driving.

A car suspected of being involved has been seized and continues to be forensically examined.

The girl’s family has been updated.

The arrested man is on conditional bail pending further enquiries.
