Detective Constable Chris Taylor, of Nottinghamshire Police’s Serious Collision Investigation Unit, said: “We would ask anyone that recognises this van and knows the person who owns it to get in touch with us immediately, as they may be able to assist us with our enquiries.

“A man was left with serious injuries that required extensive surgery following this hit-and-run incident and he is still receiving ongoing treatment six months later.

“It is extremely important that anyone with information about this incident gets in touch with the police right away, so that we can better establish exactly what happened.”

Anyone who has information or dash-cam footage of the incident should call 101, quoting incident 544 of 25 November 2021 or call CrimeStoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
