70-year-old suffers serious injuries in 'fail-to-stop' crash in Bristol
The incident happened on St Georges road in Bristol last night (24 September)
A pedestrian in his 70s is in hospital with serious injuries after a fail to stop crash in St Georges Road in Bristol.
Police say it happened at about 19:10 last night and is believed to have involved a motorbike.
Officers were rushed to the scene, where they provided first aid, before paramedics took him to hospital, where he remains in a critical condition.
A 17-year-old has been arrested at a hospital on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving - and enquiries into what happened continue.
Temporary Inspector Sarah Knight said: “We believe the motorcycle may have had two people onboard at the time of the collision and therefore would publicly appeal for the second person to make themselves known to us. Enquiries to identify them continue in the meantime.
“We are also keen to hear from two potential witnesses who were travelling in the area in a white 4×4 at about the same time the collision occurred. They were not involved in the collision, but may have information that could help our enquiries and would ask them to call us – even if it is to say they did not witness what happened.”
