Appeal Launched Over London Hit and Run
Police are appealing for information following a serious road traffic collision in Kensington on Sunday, that left a pedestrian in a life-threatening condition.
The incident occurred in Kennington Lane at around 6.45am when a car, believed to be a silver BMW 3 series coupe or convertible, struck the male pedestrian. The male driver of the car then failed to stop at the scene.
The man, believed to be aged approximately 30, sustained a life-threatening head injury and leg injuries and is currently being treated at a south London hospital.
Although the incident occurred early in the morning, a number of people are known to have been present in the area and police are especially keen for the driver and any witnesses to contact them.
They would also like information concerning any vehicle matching the description, which has, or is known to have had, windscreen damage after the time of the collision.
Detective Sergeant Stephen Pidgeon said: "It is highly likely, given the enquiries made so far, that the driver is aware of the collision occurring.
"I am confident that both he and the vehicle will be identified. It is clearly in the driver's interests to contact us rather than waiting for us to locate him."
Anyone with information is asked to contact either the witness line at Hampton Traffic garage on 020 8941 9011 or Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555 111.
