Police are appealing for witnesses after a teenage girl suffered serious injuries in a collision involving a bike and a tree branch in Southampton.
The incident happened at around 1.20pm on Saturday, 9 May, on the footpath through Tanner’s Brook, next to Lords Hill Way.
A 14-year-old girl was reportedly sitting on the handlebars of a bike while it was being ridden along the path when it collided with a tree branch.
She sustained serious injuries including a fractured jaw, a forehead laceration and damage to her teeth.
The bike, believed to have been an e-bike, was removed from the scene before officers arrived.

Officers are now appealing for anyone who witnessed the collision, saw the bike being ridden in the area, or who may be able to identify the type of bike involved, to come forward. Police are also keen to obtain any dashcam or nearby camera footage.
Anyone with information is asked to contact Hampshire & Isle of Wight Constabulary� online or by calling 101, quoting reference 44260218038.
