Police hunt witnesses after Portsmouth pedestrian hit in hit-and-run crash.
Man Left Fighting for Life After Hit-and-Run on Station Street
A 37-year-old Portsmouth man was knocked down on Station Street at around 11.20pm last Sunday, March 27. The victim was rushed to hospital with life-threatening head injuries.
The silver Vauxhall Astra involved failed to stop but was later found abandoned in the Stamshaw Angling Club car park, badly damaged.
Two Arrested and Released on Bail
Police arrested a 36-year-old man and a 34-year-old woman early the next morning in connection with the crash. Both have now been released on bail until May 24.
“I am appealing directly to anyone who was in the area of Station Street around this time on Sunday night,” said Senior Investigating Officer Sgt Darren Ord from the Serious Collision Investigation Unit. “Did you see a silver Astra being driven damaged, or anyone acting suspiciously near the Angling Club’s car park? You may be able to help.”
