Two teenagers have been knocked down by a car on their way to school in Portadown. 

It happened on the Loughall Road at around 8am on Wednesday. 

One of the girls suffered minor injuries and was treated by the Ambulance Service. 

The PSNI is keen to identify the driver involved, who allegedly did not stop at the time of the collision. 

The driver's believed to be a woman, driving a red or orange medium sized vehicle.

In a facebook post, police say the incident "could very easily have ended in tragedy". 

They continued, "it must be said it is completely incomprehensible how someone could drive on without stopping in this situation."
