Police officers are set to interview the Blackburn driver of a vehicle that collided with 17-year-old student Sajida Esmail.

The driver of the Volkswagen Bora, a 21-year-old man from the Shear Brow area, will be spoken to when initial police investigations are complete.

Sajida, of Charlotte Street, was knocked down as she tried to cross Shear Brow near its junction with London Road at 9.30pm on Monday.

She is at Royal Preston Hospital in a critical but stable condition.
