Sarisbury Green hit and run sees man suffer potential "life-changing" injuries as police appeal for witnesses
A man has suffered potential “life changing” injuries after being hit by a car in the early hours of the morning with the driver not stopping.
The 38-year-old man was struck by a dark coloured car at around 3am on Montefiore Drive, Sarisbury Green, on Thursday, May 29, which caused serious injuries to his pelvis. It is believed that two people were acting suspicious in the area shortly beforehand trying car door handles.
Police are now appealing from help from the public with their investigation. A Hampshire & Isle of Wight Constabulary spokesperson said: “We’re investigating a serious injury collision that took place in Sarisbury Green early this morning.
“A 38-year-old man was taken to Southampton General Hospital for treatment to serious, potentially life changing, injuries to his pelvis. His condition is described as stable. A road closure was in place throughout the morning to allow enquiries to be undertaken.
“Our investigation is ongoing to locate the vehicle and all those involved. No arrests have been made at this time. Detectives believe that there may have been two people acting suspiciously in the area trying car door handles shortly before this incident.
