A pedestrian has been left fighting for his life following a car crash in Hackney.
Police were called shortly after 5.50am on Tuesday to reports of a collision between a car and a pedestrian on New North Road at the junction with Mintern Street.
Officers attended alongside paramedics from the London Ambulance Service and London’s Air Ambulance.
The pedestrian, a 60-year-old man, was taken to hospital and remains in a life-threatening condition.
The driver of the car stopped at the scene and no arrests have been made, the Met Police added.
Detective Constable Bruce White, who is leading the investigation, said: “Our thoughts remain with the man who was injured and his family at this difficult time.
“We are keen to speak to anyone who was in the area of New North Road between 05:30hrs and 06:00hrs – were you commuting to work or within the area at this time and saw something that might be helpful to us?
“If you were driving past or live in the area, please check any dashcam or doorbell camera footage to see if you may have captured what happened.”
“We believe that there may be witnesses who have yet to come forward. No matter how small, anyone with any information is urged to contact us immediately by calling 101 and quoting CAD/1015.”
