Girl Dies After Audi Ploughs Into Group Of Teenagers

A 16-year-old girl has died after an Audi
sports car ploughed into a group of
teenagers "at speed" in south London.




Six other teens were injured in the hit-
and-run on Pixton Way, Croydon, at about
1.30am on Sunday.



Officers believe the red Audi A3 convertible
accidentally veered off the road at a
corner.




The motorist fled the residential area on
foot.



A man in his 30s has been arrested on
suspicion of causing death by dangerous
driving after attending a south London
police station on Sunday afternoon.



The six injured teenagers, both male and
female, are being treated at a number of
London hospitals.


None of their injuries
are life-threatening.



A Metropolitan Police spokesman said:
"At
this early stage it is believed the car was
travelling at speed before it lost control at
a corner and collided with the pedestrians.



"At this time there is nothing to suggest
the car was driven deliberately at the
group.



"The driver of the car, a man, fled from the
scene on foot following the collision."



Detectives are continuing to appeal for
information and for witnesses to come
forward.
