“The victim was taken to University Hospital of North Durham by officers, and released in the early hours of Sunday morning.”
A number of enquiries were undertaken on the night and further enquiries including analysing CCTV in the area, are ongoing.
Sgt Chris Milburn from Durham Constabulary said: “This was an awful incident for the victim, and her friends stood close to her. We are doing all that we can to trace the rider of the e-bike.
"I’d also like to thank members of the public who came to assist the female victim, before Police attended, and provided first aid to her.
"This meant a lot to the victim of this collision, and showed the true kindness of the good people of Durham.”
Police officers would like to speak to anyone who witnessed the incident, or who may have dashcam footage that could assist their enquiries, as there were a number of people and vehicles in the area at the time.
