Police in Derry are appealing for information in relation to a vehicle which struck a pedestrian during an incident in the city centre yesterday evening, Friday 6th January.
Sergeant McCollum said: “Shortly after 9.00pm, officers stopped a vehicle at Magazine Street after it was detected speeding in the area.
“The driver of the car – a black VW Golf, registration LG56 RDU – then made off before subsequently colliding with another vehicle, as well as the City Walls and a bollard close to where a group of people were standing.
“The vehicle also drove over one pedestrian’s toe during the incident.
“It then made off in the direction of Shipquay Street, towards the Diamond, and was last seen in the Bishop Street Without area.
"The vehicle will now be displaying damage to the front and rear windscreens and missing the driver side wing mirror.
“Our enquiries are continuing, and we are appealing to anyone who may have seen this vehicle, or who may have captured any dash cam or mobile phone footage, to contact us on 101, and quote reference number 1790 of 06/01/23.”
