A girl of five was seriously injured and is likely to be scarred for life after she was mowed down by an electric moped. Emily Hill needed 24 stitches to her scalp when she was dragged 50ft down the street by the 'near silent' dirt bike. 'Many people think electric bikes are safe but we have learned the hardest way possible they are not.' Emily did not hear the bike – which struck her after speeding through bollards on to the road where she was waiting for Mrs Hill and her father Sam, 27. Doctors stitched up Emily's head wound at Airedale General Hospital where she spent the night before being transferred to Bradford Royal Infirmary.
