A three-year-old girl was "left for dead" in the road after a hit and run involving three off-road motorbikes, police said.

The girl from Rotherham, South Yorkshire, suffered serious head injuries when the motorbikes hit her and failed to stop.

She was airlifted to Sheffield Children's Hospital after the collision on Ridgeway, East Herringthorpe, about 15.15 BST on Wednesday.

Police are appealing for witnesses.

Inspector Geoff Young said: "This is a very serious incident when a very young girl was struck by a motorcycle and left for dead in the middle of the road."
