Exclusive:Police share investigation update after one man arrested following hit-and-run incident
A pedestrian was reportedly carried along the bonnet of a vehicle in a hit-and-run.
Police have shared an update about a suspected hit-and-run incident in Horndean earlier this year.
On Friday, April 17, somewhere between 9.10-10pm, a dark-coloured van reportedly collided with a pedestrian, who was carried along on the bonnet for a short distance before coming off the vehicle and landing in the road.
The pedestrian, a man in his 40s was taken to hospital for his injuries, sustained somewhere between the now closed Gale and Co brewery off London Road and the Fuller’s Distribution Centre. The van then drove off from the scene and is reported to have driven dangerously on the surrounding roads and roundabouts.
A 40-year-old man from Emsworth was arrested on suspicion of attempting to cause grievous bodily harm, and dangerous driving, and was bailed until July 17. Now, police have updated us on their investigation.
A spokesperson for Hampshire and Isle of Wight Constabulary said: “Based on all of the information and evidence gathered by police during this investigation, the man has been released with no further action being taken.”
