A man's in a serious condition in hospital after a hit and run on a Morrison's car park in Bolton.

It happened just after 7pm on Wednesday (5th April) when police were called to reports of a disturbance in the car park of the store on Mornington Road in Heaton.

On arrival, officers found that a 50-year-old man had been involved in a collision with what's believed to be a blue, two door, Volkswagen style car, which failed to stop at the scene.

The man was taken to hospital with extensive injuries where he remains in a serious but stable condition.

Detective Inspector Danny Brophy of GMP’s Bolton Borough, said: “Anyone who witnessed the collision or saw the car leaving the scene, could hold significant information to our investigation.

“Whoever is responsible for the man’s injuries fled the scene not knowing whether they could have cost a man his life.

“We need to find those responsible as a matter of urgency so please come forward.”

Anyone with information should contact police on 101 quoting reference number 2012 of 05/04/17 or the independent charity Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555 111.
