Hucknall hit and run car mounted pavement before crashing into man walking to work

A hit and run car mounted a pavement and crashed into a pedestrian - leaving him with a broken arm. It happened as the man was walking to work along Annesley Road in Hucknall.

Police are appealing for the public’s help in identifying the vehicle and the driver after the incident on Saturday, May 6 at around 4.45am. The car is reported to have mounted the kerb and hit the victim at speed before driving away.

The 49-year-old was taken to hospital with bruising, cuts, and a broken arm. Anyone who saw what happened or has dashcam footage is being urged to come forward.

PC Laura Marriott, who is investigating the incident, said: “We are continuing to follow a number of lines of inquiry including CCTV footage and have identified the vehicle as black in colour. We are not aware of the make or model of the car due to how quickly the incident occurred and are asking for the public’s help.

“Anyone who saw the incident or who has any dash-cam footage from Annesley Road on that day and that time we would really like to hear from you. The vehicle was also seen on Torkard Way before the incident and Barbara Square after the incident so any footage from these locations would also be extremely helpful to our investigation.

“This incident left the victim needing hospital treatment and we are determined to find the driver responsible to build up a picture of what has happened. If you were the driver of the car then we would also like you to get in touch as you left the scene of an incident and did not stop.”

Anyone with information is being asked to call 101 quoting incident number 0123 of 6 May 2023 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
