Blyth collision leaves pedestrian seriously injured as police appeal
Police are appealing for witnesses following a collision which left a woman with serious injuries.
Shortly before 11am on Sunday (August 30), police received a report of a collision involving a car and a pedestrian in Blyth, Northumberland.
It was reported that a white Ford Kuga collided with a woman who was in the road at the roundabout at the junction of Ridley Avenue and Wellington Street.
Emergency services attended the scene and the pedestrian – a woman in her 40s – was taken to hospital with serious injuries.
She remains in hospital in a condition described as stable.
The driver of the Ford remained at the scene and is assisting officers with their enquiries.
A section of the road was closed for a period of time but re-opened just after 3pm the same day.
Officers from Northumbria Police’s Roads Policing Unit (RPU) have launched an investigation to determine the full circumstances surrounding the collision – and are appealing for witnesses to come forward.
They are especially keen to hear from anyone with CCTV, dash cam or mobile phone footage of the collision, or the moments leading up to it, to come forward.
Anyone with information or footage should get in touch by sending Northumbria Police a direct message on social media, or by using live chat and report forms on the Force’s website.
Those unable to make contact in these ways can call 101.
