She has been on foot in the area of a bus stop on Cotton Road, outside Bangor, Co Down, at the time.
And today police are appealing for witnesses and asking drivers to check their dashcam footage.
A spokeswoman for the PSNI said: “Police are appealing for witnesses to a road traffic collision involving a female pedestrian in Bangor yesterday evening, Friday, October 23.
“The collision, which was reported just before 5.40pm, occurred on Cotton Road, in the vicinity of the bus stop opposite the old primary school.
“A teenage girl, aged 14-years-old, was injured as a result of the collision, which involved a white Renault van. She was taken to hospital where she remains today.
