A red Peugeot car smashed into the gates of a primary school on Sunday evening - but the driver and passengers fled before police arrived at the scene.
A member of the public called police after seeing the impact at Vange Primary School, in London Road, Vange, around 7pm.
It happened a short distance from the spot where two sisters were killed in a crash involving a drink-driver last year.
Anyone with information about the accident is urged to contact the Laindon traffic unit on 01268 541312.
