Police look for hit and run driver

An elderly woman has a serious ankle injury

Police are looking the driver of a hit and run in Plymouth a fortnight ago. 

It happened at around 2.20pm on Monday 20th August on Southway Drive.

A 78-year-old woman sustained a serious ankle injury and was taken to hospital by ambulance for treatment.

The car failed to stop at the scene.

Investigating officer, MPC Phil Rooks said: “It’s believed that the vehicle involved was a silver Vauxhall Corsa B Mk1 or a silver Vauxhall van.

“It’s also believed that the vehicle is an older model, likely to have been made between 1993 and 2000.

“The vehicle lost a wing mirror at the scene so I would appeal to any local garages or body repair shops that have repaired a vehicle of this description in the past two weeks, to contact police.

“I’d also appeal to anyone who witnessed the incident or saw the vehicle in the area at the time, to come forward and speak to us.”

Anyone who witnessed the incident or has any information is asked to contact police on 101@dc.polie.uk or call 101 quoting log 481 20/8.
