Three children were taken to hospital after a young pedestrian was hit by a car in High Wycombe on Wednesday afternoon.

South Central Ambulance were called at around 5.10pm on August 16 to reports of a road traffic collision involving a pedestrian and a car in Hughenden Avenue.

SCAS confirmed a paramedic assessed and treated three patients at the scene – who are believed to be children - however the ambulance service could not confirm their ages and gender.

One of the patients was taken to John Radcliffe Hospital in Oxford with head injuries and two patients were taken to Wexham Park Hospital in Slough with minor injuries.
