Police have renewed their appeal for witnesses after a pedestrian was hit by a car in Huddersfield town centre on Sunday.

Southgate was closed for about four hours after a 19-year-old man was struck by a Vauxhall Corsa at 11.15am.

Police said the 23-year-old driver pulled up shortly after the collision and was co-operating with inquiries.

The victim, who has not been named, suffered a serious leg injury.

PC Michael Auty, of the West Yorkshire Roads Policing Unit, appealed for anyone who saw what happened to ring 101.

PC Auty added: “I would like to hear from anyone who witnessed the collision and is yet to speak to police to come forward.”

Callers should quote the reference number 589 of March 23.

The Examiner previously reported that the driver left the scene.

This was due to incorrect information given by the police.

We were also told by police that the victim was 25 and the Roads Policing Team tweeted that the man had suffered head injuries.
