A woman was struck by a silver or grey car on Victoria Road, near the junction with Westborough, just before 6pm. She sustained serious injuries and has since been admitted to hospital, where she remains.
Authorities are urging anyone who witnessed the collision or possesses dashcam footage from the area around that time to come forward.

Those with information can contact TC Nick Simpson via email at nick.simpson@northyorkshire.police.uk or by calling 101, quoting reference number 12250200747.
At the time of the collision, the driver did not stop at the scene, however, he has since come forward and has been arrested on suspicion of a number of offences including dangerous driving and failing to stop.
