He also confirmed the crash did not happen at Davallia Primary School, which sits on the corner of Davallia and Trenton.

"When SJA attended the scene she appeared to be initially uninjured but wasn't responding correctly," he said.

The girl was taken to Princess Margaret Hospital to undergo scans, where they discovered she had a "pretty badly fractured leg".

Sgt Lopes said the fact Major Crash investigators were not involved suggested the girl had stepped in the vehicle's path and the driver was not at fault.

"Majors only get involved if there's a culpable party," he said.
