A man has been charged after a three-year-old girl was injured in an alleged hit-and-run.

The toddler was hurt on Auchmill Road near Chalmers Bakery in Aberdeen.

The girl was at a pedestrian crossing with her mother when she is said to have been struck by a Suzuki Alto at 12.30pm on Monday.

She was taken to hospital with minor injuries.

A 70-year-old man has been charged in relation to the alleged incident.

He is due to appear in court next month.

Road policing sergeant Steve Manson said: "I would like to thank the public for their help and support in tracing this vehicle."
