Police have given an update after a 30-year-old pedestrian sustained serious injuries after being struck by a car in a hit and run incident.
Police officers have launched an appeal after they received reports of a collision in Hambrook, near Chichester, shortly after 6pm on Friday, January 3, as reported.
Emergency services were called to Broad Road, at the junction with Hawthorne Gardens, following reports that a light coloured 4x4 vehicle towing a trailer had been involved in a crash with a pedestrian. “The pedestrian sustained serious but not life-threatening injuries,” a police spokesperson said.
The 4x4 did not stop at the scene as police launched an appeal to locate the car and driver. Giving an update, police said: “The suspect vehicle was located and our investigation is ongoing.” It means the driver remains at large following the incident.
