Elderly pedestrian in critical condition after being hit by a car
An elderly pedestrian has been seriously injured after being involved in a collision with a car.
The incident took place at 7.06am on Saturday (January 10) and police officers are now appealing for witnesses to come forward.
A spokesperson for Lancashire Police said: “We were called to the junction of Dunkirk Lane and Paradise Lane, Leyland, to a report of a road traffic collision.
“Our officers attended and found that a Mercedes A200 car had been in collision with a pedestrian – a woman in her late 80s.
“She suffered serious pelvic, shoulder and spinal injuries, and is in a critical but stable condition in hospital.”
The driver of the Mercedes stopped at the scene and was unhurt.
Sgt Paul McCurrie from the Roads Policing Team, said: “My thoughts are very much with the woman as she undergoes treatment and care in hospital.
“As we investigate the collision, we are asking anyone who witnessed it or has dashcam or CCTV footage from the area, to speak to us.
“It happened quite early in the morning but there will have been people around at that time.”
