Appeal After Elderly Pedestrian Injured In Crash

Police are appealing for information after an elderly pedestrian was seriously injured in a collision in Lutterworth town centre yesterday.

Police were called to Market Street, close to the junction with Walker-Manor Court, just after 10.30am following a report of a collision involving a white Renault lorry and a man aged in his 90s.

The pedestrian was taken to hospital, where he is continuing to receive treatment.

A 54-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of causing serious injury by careless/inconsiderate driving and has since been released under investigation.

Roads were closed following the collision yesterday

Detective Constable Emma Neeves, from our Serious Collision Investigation Unit (SCIU), said: “The collision happened on a busy road through Lutterworth and I believe there will have been people who saw what happened but who have not spoken to police.

“I’m asking for any motorists with dashcams or anyone who witnessed the incident to get in touch. Anything you’re able to provide or tell us could help our enquiries.”
