A seven-year-old girl has been left with life-changing injuries after the quad bike she was on crashed into a telegraph pole on Boxing Day.
A 16-year-old boy has been arrested on suspicion of causing serious injury by dangerous driving over the crash which happened in Kippax, near Leeds.
The girl was a passenger on the green all-terrain quad when it hit the pole outside the Old Tree Inn pub on the town’s High Street.
A man and a woman, both aged in their 30s, have been arrested on suspicion of child neglect and are being questioned in custody.
West Yorkshire Police is appealing for witnesses and CCTV or dashcam footage of the Honda TRX420 being ridden around Kippax from 10pm on Boxing Day which is 30 minutes before it was called out by ambulance crews.
The girl is being treated in hospital for injuries which police say are “serious and life-changing but are not considered life-threatening”.

Absolutely disgusting and a sad excuse for parenting. These bikes needs banning and only allowed to be used by farmers. Go and have your fun another way that doesn’t endanger people’s bloody lives. You’ve only got yourselves to blame for this hideous situation that could have claimed way more lives. Absolute morons.
Great parenting.
Too busy on their phones to give a shite about their kids.
Usual Suspects
Useless parents 🤬

I even found the mother of the child and offered police that info
South Yorkshire police zero interest and the child is still flying around on moto x bike
