Ambulance crews attended and the woman, who is in her 60s, was taken to Addenbrooke’s Hospital, in Cambridge, where she remains this morning in a critical condition.

The road was closed while the vehicle was recovered and the driver of the van, a man in his 50s, is helping police with their enquiries.

Anyone who witnessed the collision, or the pedestrian in the area beforehand, should call 101 and ask to speak to a member of the Road Policing Unit, quoting Op Gulati or incident 512 of 18 September.
