A man and a woman have been arrested
A man is in a critical condition in hospital after being hit by a van in east Liverpool.
Emergency services rushed to Utting Avenue East at around 6:30pm on Sunday to a report a man had been struck by a transit van, after coming off the Broadway roundabout.
Paramedics arrived at the scene whey they found a man, in his 50s, with serious injuries. He's believed to have been out jogging when the collision happened.
The male was rushed to hospital where he is fighting for his life.
The driver of the silver transit van failed to stop at the scene, Merseyside Police said.
Later on Sunday evening, a 24-year-old man from Norris Green and a 44-year-old woman from Westvale in Kirkby were arrested in connection with the collision.
The arrests were made after officers spotted the van believed to have been involved in the collision, parked up at the junction of Hollingbourne Place and Hollingbourne Road in Norris Green.
The suspects are being questioned on suspicion of causing serious injury by dangerous driving.
Merseyside Police are continuing to appear for witnesses of the collision, or anyone who may have CCTV or dashcam footage of what happened.
