The crash involved a pedestrian and dark coloured car, which the police believes was an Audi, that did not stop at the scene.

As a result of the crash, a 38-year-old man was rushed to Southampton General Hospital, where he remains, for treatment to serious, potentially life changing, injuries.

The police have confirmed that his condition continues to be described as stable.

A spokesperson for the Hampshire and Isle of Wight Constabulary said they were trying to identify two teenagers who were seen at the BP Garage at Park Gate at 1.45am. The pair have now been identified.

Detectives have also arrested two 18-year-old men from Fareham and Hamble on suspicion of attempted murder, causing injury through dangerous driving, vehicle interference, and failing to stop following a collision. They both remain in custody at this time.

Anyone who believes that they may have seen the car or two people acting suspiciously in the area should call 101 quoting 44250233585.
