Witnesses sought after driver fails to stop following Lancaster collision
Written by John Williamson on 13/03/2017
Police are appealing for witnesses after a car collided with a pedestrian in Lancaster.
The incident happened as a 56-year-old local woman was crossing the road on Cable Street outside the bus station at around 7.10pm on Sunday 26 February.
It is thought that a silver Honda Jazz has started to travel whilst the traffic lights were on red and has collided with the woman but failed to stop.
Officers are keen to trace two teenage boys on bicycles who may have witnessed the incident and spoke to the pedestrian just after the collision occurred.
PC Steve Wood from Lancaster’s Road Policing Unit said: “Thankfully the woman crossing the road wasn’t badly hurt, she was left with minor injuries to her hand and leg.
“We are asking the boys described who are thought to have seen what happened or indeed anyone who may have seen anything to come forward and speak with us.”
Anyone with information can call us on 101 quoting incident number 1303 of February 26th.
Alternatively Crimestoppers can be contacted anonymously on 0800 555 111 or online at crimestoppers-uk.org.
