Teenage Girl Dies After Sheffield Hit And Run

A 14-year-old girl who was killed in a hit and run collision in Sheffield has been named by police as Jasmyn Chan.

Another girl, aged 12, was treated for serious injuries following the collision at about 9.20pm on Friday. She has now left hospital.

The pair, both from Sheffield, were crossing the road when they were hit by a car on Normanton Hill close to its junction with Richmond Hill Road.

Chief Inspector Stuart Walne appealed for the driver to contact police.

"Jasmyn was an active, friendly girl who was very giving. This situation is even more upsetting as the driver didn't stop at the scene," he said.

"The driver may not have intended to cause this collision nor are they likely to have been aware of the extent of the injuries they caused last night.

"However, I would urge them to think about the impact on Jasmyn's family, friends and community and please come forward."

The crash occurred on Normanton Hill, near the Richmond Hill Road junction

The girls had fallen behind three other friends when they were hit by the car as it travelled down a hill towards the A57 Mosborough Parkway.

The vehicle was described as small and dark-coloured, possibly green, and possibly a Volkswagen or a Honda.

Police say they are following a "number of leads" after getting information from the public.

"The small dark-coloured car will have damage to the front and the driver's offside," Chief Inspector Walne added. "We urgently need to find the driver of this car. 

"This is a tragic situation that has taken a young life and seriously affected another.

"If you were the driver of this car, please contact police immediately.

"There may have been reasons that you didn't stop last night but now a girl has died and we need to speak to you.

"Have you noticed a small dark car that is damaged on your street this morning? Are your friends and family acting out of character today? Were they out in their car last night?"

Witnesses to the crash or anyone with information are asked to contact police on the non-emergency 101 number.
