Update to investigation after woman found with injuries in Lee-on-the-Solent

We’re issuing an update into our investigation after a woman was found with injuries in Lee-on-the-Solent on Sunday (20 August).

Officers were called by the ambulance service at 8.10pm after a member of the public found the woman aged in her 60’s on the pavement with serious head injuries along Broom Way, just south of Peel Common Roundabout.

She was taken to Southampton General Hospital where she continues to receive treatment.

Initially the circumstances surrounding the woman’s injuries were treated as unexplained. Further enquiries and consultation with medical experts have led detectives to the conclusion that we do not currently believe that there was any third-party involvement or a collision with any sort of vehicle involved.

We would like to thank members of the public that contacted us following our initial appeal as the material they provided has helped us to progress our enquiries.
