Officers are investigating after a woman was injured in a collision in Withington.

Shortly before 9.20pm on Sunday 4 August 2019, a dark grey/blue VW Golf was travelling on Princess Road before turning right onto Whitchurch Road, when it was involved in a collision with a pedestrian who was walking across the street.

The pedestrian – a 19-year-old woman – suffered serious head and shoulder injuries and was taken to hospital for treatment. She has since been discharged to continue her recovery at home.

The driver failed to stop at the scene and investigators are now appealing for any information that could assist their enquiries.

“We have released footage of the collision in the hope that it may help to jog people’s memories.

“If you witnessed the collision, or have dash cam footage from around the time which shows a dark grey/blue VW Golf travelling on Princess Road before turning right onto Whitchurch Road, please contact police.”
