Police Hunt BMW Hit-And-Run


Police have released this CCTV image of silver BMW involved in a serious hit-and-run incident a few hours into the New Year, which left a pedestrian fighting for his life.

The victim, 30, sustained a life-threatening head injury at 6.45am on January 1 in Kennington Lane, Kennington, South London when struck by the vehicle.

The unknown male driver of the BMW failed to stop.

Many potential witnesses celebrating the New Year were in the area and police are appealing for them to come forward.

They are also urging the driver of the vehicle to give himself up and asking for anyone who knows of a similar vehicle sustaining windscreen damage around this time to come forward.

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.
