A TEENAGE girl suffered a broken leg and collarbone after she was knocked down by a motorbike in Harefield.

The 13-year-old Harefield Academy student was in collision with the bike while crossing Northwood Way in Harefield at about 2.50pm on Tuesday, September 30.

Headteacher, Lynn Gadd, said: "She crossed the road and remembered she had to go back into school so she turned on her heels and ran back into the road. She never gave the motorcyclist a chance and we felt very sorry for him.

"It was an accident but it was her own fault. He was not speeding at all.

"We think there should be speed restrictions on that road but on this occasion it would have happened anyway."

The girl was treated at the scene by the London Ambulance Service and taken to Hillingdon Hospital.
