Police are looking to speak to a driver who may have information about an Inverness crash that has left a pensioner in a serious condition in hospital.

The collision between the 71-year-old pedestrian and a red Mazda 3 happened on Thornbush Road shortly after 5.20pm on September 27.

The elderly woman was taken to Raigmore Hospital for treatment – the occupants of the Mazda were not injured.

Officers now want to speak with the driver of a silver car that was in the area at the time.

Sergeant Calum MacAulay said: “Our enquiries to establish the full circumstances of this crash are ongoing, and we are appealing for anyone with information of the movements of all parties involved prior to the collision to come forward.

“If you were in the area at the time and saw a red Mazda 3 car being driven or the pedestrian walking prior to the collision please get in touch.

“We are also particularly keen to speak with the driver of a silver car that was in the area at the time of the crash.

“If you have any information or dash cam footage that could assist our investigation, please contact Police Scotland on 101 quoting reference 2694 of 27 September.”

An 18-year-old man, the driver of the car has been arrested in connection with a road traffic offence and enquiries remain ongoing.
