Appeal to locate witnesses to Plymouth collision involving car and pedestrian

Officers investigating a serious injury collision in Plymouth are appealing to locate and speak to the occupants of a car who may have witnessed the incident.

We are trying to locate and speak to the occupants of a dark coloured car which we believe is a Mk5 (02-08 plate) Ford Fiesta, or similar.

The car was seen driving in the area of Tothill Avenue at around 9.48pm on Wednesday 4 February and we believe the occupants may have information that could assist our investigation.

The car was seen driving from Cattedown roundabout, along Tothill Road and then Tothill Avenue in the direction of Greenbank.

We wish to speak to those who were in the car as possible witnesses to the following collision.

Police were called to a serious collision on Tothill Avenue, Plymouth, at around 10pm on Wednesday 4 February, which involved a pedestrian and white Audi car, which left the scene.

The pedestrian, a local man in his 60s, suffered serious, potentially life-changing injuries.

The road was closed while an investigation was carried out at the scene. Following enquiries, the car was located nearby.

A 21-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of causing serious injury by dangerous driving, failing to stop at the scene and driving a vehicle while unfit through drugs. He has been released under investigation while the investigation is ongoing.

If you can assist in identifying the car, were an occupant of the car, or have any information that could help us, please contact us via our website here or by calling 101 quoting  reference 50260030150.
