Police are appealing for witnesses after a woman was located with serious injuries in Fishbourne last week in what officers are treating as a possible hit and run collision.
Between 23:00 on 28th September and 01:00 on 29th September, colleagues from the ambulance service located a woman in her 50s at the junction with Kite Hill.
She had serious injuries and was taken to hospital for treatment, where she remains.
Police were contacted on 4th October after concerns were raised at the hospital around the severity of her injuries, and that they could be consistent with having been hit by a vehicle.
At this time, it is unclear how she came to be injured but officers are investigating a potential hit and run collision.
She is described as being 53-years-old, short in stature with a large build. She was wearing dark clothing.
A spokesperson for Hampshire & Isle of Wight Constabulary has said:
“We are appealing for any witnesses who may have seen something at the time. Do you remember seeing a woman matching this description in the area? Perhaps you have dash cam footage on Fishbourne Lane during the relevant times?
