Boy, 13, arrested after pregnant woman seriously hurt in e-bike hit-and-run in Poole

A 13-year-old boy has been arrested after a pregnant woman was hit by an e-bike.

The baby, which was born shortly after, remains in a critical condition after the mum was injured in the crash last Monday on Herbet Avenue, in Poole, Dorset.

Dorset Police said it was reported the e-bike rider failed to stop at the scene.

A 13-year-old boy has since been arrested and remains in police custody.

Police Sergeant Dan Yates, of the Roads Policing Team, said: ‘Our investigation is continuing and we have now made an arrest as part of our enquiries.

‘I would like to thank the public who came forward and provided information to help with our investigation.

‘We are still appealing for anyone with information in relation to this incident, who has not already spoken to police, to please get in touch.’
