CCTV images of a man believed to be in connection with a hit and run incident in Evesham have been released.

Police are currently investigating the incident that took place at around 11:05am on Bridge Street near Workman Bridge last Thursday (March 21).

A CCTV image capturing the identity of a man police would like to speak to in connection with the incident has been released.

It is believed the man in the image may have information that could help officers with their investigation. 

A 73-year-old woman, who was crossing the road, was struck by a Grey Ford Kuga which then failed to stop.

The woman was taken to hospital, where she remains with life-threatening injuries.

Detective Inspector Ollie Moore, said: “We are really keen to speak to the man in the CCTV image as we believe he may have key information that could help with our investigation into the incident. 

“We would also like to speak to anyone who was in Bridge Street around the time of the collision on Thursday morning who may have seen, or may have dashcam footage, of the Kuga.”

Two men, aged 32 and 51, who were arrested in connection with the incident have been released on police bail.
