Police are appealing for information after the driver of a vehicle that struck a pedestrian in Wellington left the scene yesterday.
Senior Constable Brett Main said the crash happened at the intersection of Tory and Tennyson Streets in the city around 6.30pm on Saturday.
“The pedestrian was carried a short distance on the bonnet of the vehicle before falling onto the road on Tory St.
He said they suffered minor injuries.
Main said the vehicle did not stop, and left the area.
“It is described as a light blue hatchback, which would have damaged windscreen wipers as a result of the collision.
“The vehicle was captured on CCTV, and this is forming part of our inquiries.”
Main urged anyone who knows who this person was, or if this was you, to “do the right thing and come forward”.
