Police are appealing for witnesses after a pedestrian was hit by a car in Peterborough.
A grey Vauxhall Astra struck a pedestrian on the Bridge Street pedestrian crossing in Bourges Boulevard at about 11.10pm on Saturday (18 March).
The pedestrian, a man in his 40s, was taken to Peterborough City Hospital with serious injuries.
A 41-year-old man from Peterborough was arrested on suspicion of driving above the prescribed alcohol limit, causing serious injury by dangerous driving and driving without third party insurance.
PC Sonny Pepper said: “I would like to speak to anyone who was in the Bourges Boulevard and Bridge Street area between 11pm and 11.10pm on Saturday night who may have seen, or have dashcam footage of, the Astra in the build-up to the collision.”
Anyone with information or dashcam footage should tell us about it through the force website using reference CC-18032023-0583.
