Police said the toddler fell from a BMW X5 as it was travelling on the A56, near the Rising Bridge roundabout, south of Accrington, at around 12.40am on Sunday morning (November 11).

It is then believed the girl – who is from Nelson - was possibly hit by another unknown vehicle.

She suffered a head injury and is in a serious but stable condition at Royal Manchester Children’s Hospital.

Sgt Dave Hurst said: "We are appealing for witnesses after a child fell from a car.

"We believe there may have been a white vehicle, possibly a Kia, in the area at the time and we are keen to speak to them.
