Woman, 30, arrested after pedestrian hit by a car

A 30-year-old woman has been arrested after a pedestrian was hit by a car and left critically injured.

A 39-year-old man was struck by a grey Mini Cooper while using the pedestrian crossing in Elmfield Road, Dogsthorpe, Peterborough, at about 02:00 BST on Sunday.

The driver, from Peterborough, was arrested later that day on suspicion of causing serious injury by dangerous driving, driving while unfit through drink or drugs, failing to stop after an accident and driving without a licence.

She has been bailed until 22 August, the force said.

Officers said the driver had briefly stopped at the scene but left before the police arrived.

The man remains in Addenbrooke's Hospital in Cambridge.

An investigation has been launched and officers have appealed for anyone with information about the incident to come forward.
