Police are turning to Sittingbourne
Messenger readers in an effort to find a motorist who ran an
81-year-old woman down.
The pensioner suffered leg and head
injuries after she was knocked to the floor by a vehicle reversing
out of a space outside The Forum.
The accident happened at 12.30pm on
Saturday, December 17, but police have only just released the
details in a bid to try and trace the woman driver.
She did stop and give initial care
to the elderly woman but left once an ambulance crew arrived.
It’s reported that she was driving
a large people carrier, possibly purple or black in colour, with a
young child in the back.
The injured woman was admitted on
to a ward at Medway Maritime Hospital in Gillingham.
Investigating officer Sgt Jason
Hedges said: "Fortunately, the injured lady did not suffer
life-threatening injuries but I would appeal to the driver – or
anyone else who has any information – to get in touch so we can
conclude our inquiries."
Anyone with any information
is asked to contact Sgt Hedges via email on
11091@kent.pnn.police.uk – alternatively, you can call the
non-emergency number 101, or call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800
555 111.
