A woman has been taken to hospital with a fractured skull after being hit by a car in County Road, Swindon, last night (29 October 2018).
Police were called to the scene by the ambulance service shortly after 9pm after a member of the public found the woman in the road with serious injuries.
The woman, who is in her 30s and suffered a serious head injury, was taken to Southmead Hospital in Bristol by ambulance.
Det Sgt Adrian Bray, from Swindon CID, said: “At this early stage of our investigation we believe the woman has been hit by a vehicle, perhaps a car or van, which has failed to stop and left the scene.
“We want to hear from anyone who was in the County Road area either shortly before or at the time of the incident. We have had some reports that the victim may have been stumbling in and out of the road, so we want to speak to witnesses who may have seen her before she was injured.
“We also want to hear from motorists who may have dash cam footage, which may hold vital information about what happened and provide further detail about the vehicle involved in the collision.”
Anyone with information is asked to contact Swindon CID on 101, quoting log 309 of yesterday. Alternatively you can call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555111.
