A man in his 90s was knocked down and seriously injured in Burnley at the weekend.
Lancashire Police are appealing for witnesses and footage after the pensioner was struck by an Audi A3 car at the junction of Manchester Road and St Matthew Street at 8.40pm on Sunday (February 1).
A spokesperson for the force said: “We were called by the North-West Ambulance Service. Our officers attended and found that an Audi A3 car had been in collision with a pedestrian in the carriageway.
“The pedestrian, a man in his 90s, suffered serious head and leg injuries, and was taken to hospital where he remains.”
Sgt Tony Beckett, of the Roads Policing Unit, added: “My thoughts first and foremost are with the injured man as he undergoes treatment in hospital for serious injuries.
“As we investigate the collision, we are appealing for witnesses and for anyone who was driving in the area around the time it happened and has dashcam footage, to contact us.
“If people have CCTV in the area, again we want you to come forward.
“There were a lot of people at the scene and if they left before speaking to our officers, we would like to hear from them.”
