A 13-year-old has been arrested over an e-bike crash involving a pregnant woman whose baby was born afterwards in hospital and remains in a serious condition.
It happened on 26 January in Herbert Avenue, Poole, and police said the rider had reportedly failed to stop at the scene.
The female pedestrian, in her 30s, went to hospital after the collision – which happened around 3.50pm.
