AN 11-YEAR-old girl had a lucky escape after she was in collision with a car as she made her way home from school in Worcester.
The accident happened at 3.30pm yesterday, at the junction of St Peter's Drive and Bittern Road, St Peter's.
A spokesman for West Midlands Ambulance Service said: "We received a call to the emergency operations centre at 3.30pm and sent an ambulance and a fast response vehicle to the scene, where they arrived within five minutes. The girl was treated at the scene for minor head injuries and transferred to the Worcestershire Royal Hospital for further treatment.
"The girl has had a lucky escape, as the injuries she received were quite minor, but they could have been a lot more serious."
