A man in his 70s was taken to hospital after being involved in a collision with a car in Royston.

Police are now appealing for witnesses and information.

On Saturday, September 5, at around 7.30am the victim was walking across Kneesworth Street. It was alleged that a vehicle drove through red traffic lights and hit him.

He sustained minor injuries to his hand and was treated at A&E.

PC Rebecca Dudley, who is investigating, said: “Unfortunately we do not have any information on the make or model of the vehicle, but what we do know is that it was being driven incredibly dangerously in a residential area. This left a vulnerable, elderly victim requiring hospital treatment.

“If you were in the area and recall seeing the incident take place, and have not yet spoken to police, please get in touch as soon as you can.”
