Local police are appealing for information after an elderly pedestrian was left with serious head injuries following a road traffic collision.
The 79-year-old was on the pedestrian crossing on the promenade, close to the Pier Hotel, at around 6.05pm on Monday 15th February when he was involved in a collision with a red Peugeot 106, driven by an 18-year-old.
The pensioner, who is from Morecambe, sustained a serious head injury and was taken to the Royal Lancaster Infirmary. His condition is currently described as serious but not life threatening.
An accident investigation has been launched and police are now appealing for information to establish what happened.
“We would like to speak to anyone who may have seen either the pedestrian or the vehicle before the incident,” said PC Kevin Illingworth of Morecambe police, “or anyone who may have actually witnessed the incident taking place.”
• Anyone with information should contact PC Killingworth on 01524 63333.
