A relation of the injured person confirmed that they had been taken to hospital as a result and that they were actually aged in their thirties.

“This was my sister, she is 32 [years old] but petite so I can see why people may have thought she was a child,” they responded.

“Thank you for your concern though, she is currently in hospital.”

Thames Valley Police confirmed the incident happened on Barwell and a spokesperson added: “This was a minor injury collision.”
