A young girl who was in collision with a car in Felixstowe yesterday has been transferred to Addenbrooke’s Hospital in Cambridge.

Her injuries were initially described as serious, though this morning a police spokesman described them as not being life threatening or life changing.

Emergency services were called to Hamilton Road at 5.11pm after the incident involving the girl, thought to be aged four.

The East of England Ambulance Service sent an ambulance, ambulance officer and two rapid response vehicles to the scene, with the first emergency workers on scene within three-and-a-half minutes.

The girl was later rushed to Ipswich Hospital before being transferred to Addenbrooke’s for further treatement.

Suffolk police closed the road for several hours while investigations were carried out.
