Police seek driver who collided with pedestrian in Ludlow
Police are appealing for a car driver to come forward after being involved in a collision with an elderly woman pedestrian in Ludlow at the weekend.
A 70-year-old woman was taken to hospital with leg and arm injuries following the collision in Livesey Road at around 7.30am on Saturday.
The young woman who was driving the vehicle stopped to help her to her feet but then drove off without leaving any details.
Police Constable Alison Owen, the investigating officer, today appealed for the driver to get in touch.
“I am urging her to contact Ludlow police station by calling 101 and would also appeal to witnesses or anyone who knows the identity of the driver, to get in touch.”
The casualty was walking home from Livesey stores at the time. She had just crossed the crossroads from Sandpits Road onto Livesey Road when the collision happened.
The car involved is thought to be blue or red and may have a dented bonnet.
PC Owen said: “The elderly lady was knocked off her feet and onto the bonnet before landing in the middle of the road.
“The driver got out and helped her up and then drove off leaving no details. The casualty who suffered a cut leg and severe bruising to her arm managed to struggle home and was then taken to hospital. She is still receiving treatment.”
