Man seriously injured after being hit by car
GoogleA man is in hospital with serious injuries after being hit by a car outside a shop in Leicester.
Officers were called to Sun Way in Braunstone just before 14:45 GMT on Tuesday after a report a pedestrian - a man in his 50s - had been struck by a blue Nissan Micra.
Leicestershire Police said a 26-year-old man was arrested at the scene on suspicion of causing serious injury by careless driving and has since been released under investigation.
The force is now appealing for the driver of a white Ford Transit Tipper, which had been parked outside the shop at the time, to come forward.
Det Sgt Charlotte Mee said: "While it was not involved in the collision, I'm appealing for the driver to get in touch.
"I believe they may be able to provide key information about what happened and information that could help our investigation."
