Police appeal for information after 70-year-old struck by car and left lying in the road
Police have released CCTV footage of a pensioner being hit by a car and left lying in the road.
Staffordshire Police want to find the driver who hit 70-year-old Allan Rafferty as he walked home in Stoke-on-Trent last month.
Mr Rafferty crosses the road
He can be seen approaching the pavement as the car comes around the corner and strikes him.
He's left lying in the road and the driver leaves the scene.
The next thing Mr Rafferty knew, he was waking up in hospital with no memory of what happened to him. He believed he'd fallen because of an ear infection.
It was only a few days later that memories of the collision started to return, and he went back to where it happened to check the CCTV of a local shop.
He was left with severe bruising.
The incident took place on Thursday, January 16, on the Brownley Road junction with Community Drive in Smallthorne, Stoke-on-Trent.
Staffordshire Police say inquiries are ongoing and they're appealing for any information.
