A man in his 90s has been seriously injured after being involved in a collision with a lorry in Lutterworth, Leicestershire.

It happened on Market Street at around 10:30 yesterday morning (1 Sept).

The pedestrian was taken to hospital where he remains with serious injuries.

A 54-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of causing serious injury by careless or inconsiderate driving. He had since been released on bail.

Detective Constable Emma Neeves, from the Serious Collision Investigation Unit (SCIU), said: “The collision happened on a busy road through Lutterworth and I believe there will have been people who saw what happened but who have not spoken to police.

“I’m asking for any motorists with dashcams or anyone who witnessed the incident to get in touch. Anything you’re able to provide or tell us could help our enquiries.”
