Police appeal after Preston hit-and-run

Police in Lancashire are appealing for witnesses following an alleged hit and run in Freckleton.

Police were called around 12.45pm on October 8 after reports of a collision on Trinity Close.

A 42-year-old man was found at the scene with a serious foot injury.

Police believe the victim had been driving when he passed another vehicle and urged the driver to slow down.

As the 42-year-old man parked his car, the driver of the other vehicle returned, allegedly using his car to hit the victim.

The driver then made off from the scene.

The victim suffered serious injuries to his right foot and ankle and was taken to Blackpool Victoria Hospital for treatment.

A man was later arrested in connection with the incident.

Police are appealing for information and would be keen to speak to anyone who can assist with their enquiries.

PC Faye Robertson, of Blackpool Police, said:

Anyone with information can contact police on 101 quoting crime reference WA1615929.

A 22-year-old man from Preston was arrested on suspicion of assault and dangerous driving and bailed to December 7.
