Read our Privacy noticeA baby was born in a serious condition after a pregnant woman was hit by an e-bike, which failed to stop at the scene of the crash in Poole.
She did not have serious injuries, but her baby was born in hospital and remains in a serious condition.
Last September, surgeons warned that e-bike injuries were causing a “massive burden” on hospitals, with Royal London Hospital’s orthopaedics trauma ward seeing 150 cases caused by e-bike accidents over a six-month period.
Surgeons said injuries, including broken bones, were not uncommon due to the speed at which people fall off the bikes.
