Police issue appeal after pedestrian suffers life-threatening injuries in Northumberland road collision
Police are appealing for witnesses to come forward following a collision in Northumberland which left a woman with life-threatening injuries.
Shortly after 10am on Friday (September 11) police received a report of a collision involving a car and a pedestrian on the A69 in Haltwhistle.
It was reported that, for reasons yet to be established, a white Vauxhall Mokka had struck a woman who was on the carriageway on Haltwhistle Bypass Road.
Emergency services attended the scene and the woman – who is in her 60s – was taken to hospital with life-threatening injuries.
She remains in hospital in a condition described as critical but stable.
The driver of the Vauxhall, a woman in her 50s, remained at the scene and is assisting officers with their enquiries.
A section of the road was closed for a period of time but later re-opened.
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 who saw the woman prior to the collision, as well as 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.
