Man in his 80s in hospital after serious crash in Clacton
The other car involved fled the scene
A man in his eighties has sustained serious injuries after a crash in Clacton.
Police attended a collision involving two cars in Oxford Road just before 4.30pm on Saturday.
The driver of one car, the man in his 80s, was taken to hospital with serious injuries.
He is still in hospital where his condition is described as serious, but stable.
The occupants of the second car, a black BMW, fled the scene in the direction of the town centre.
They are described as four men and one woman in their late teens or early 20s.
Some were wearing tracksuits with hoods covering their faces and police believe at least one of them sustained an injury.
Police are now appealing for witnesses or anyone with dash cam footage to come forward.
