A teenager has been seriously injured after being hit by a car.
The boy, aged 14, was seen "upside down in the air" in the crash, which involved a BMW in Bitterne Triangle on Sunday, and reportedly suffered a gash to his shin, according to one eyewitness.
Ben Robbins said he heard a "bang" while in the area before witnessing the aftermath of the incident.
The 38-year-old, who was visiting friends nearby having recently moved to West End, said: “I was walking by when I heard a bang, I hadn’t really been paying attention.
“When I looked up a teenage boy went upside down with his legs in the air and fell to the ground.
“The boy that was hit by the car had a gash on his shin and was complaining of having shin pain, I think he just went into shock, anyone would.”
