A man in his 90s has been hospitalised with a serious leg injury after being hit by a car which didn't stop in Blackburn.

The incident happened at around 1:50pm on Friday 29 March, at Audley Range near the junction of Lambeth Street in the town.

The driver of the BMW 318d failed to stop at the scene.

Police say they are appealing for anyone with information on the whereabouts of the driver to come forward.

They also want to hear from any witnesses or anybody with dashcam, CCTV, mobile phone or doorbell footage which has captured the BMW before or after the collision.

Sergeant Pete Fyans, of Lancashire Police's Road Policing Unit, said: "This collision has left a pensioner seriously injured and my thoughts are with him and his loved ones at this time.

"I want to appeal directly to the driver of the BMW to do the right thing and make contact with the police straight away."
