Appeal following collision in Southampton

We are appealing for witnesses following a serious collision on Bursledon Road.

We were called at 4.13pm yesterday (15/3) to reports of a collision at the junction of Bath Road and Bursledon Road.

This involved a blue Toyota Yaris and a pedestrian.

The pedestrian, a woman in her 70s, suffered serious but not life-threatening injuries.

The driver of the Toyota did not stop at the scene and the vehicle was located shortly afterwards in Deacon Road.

The car had been reported stolen from an address in Newcombe Road, Southampton, between 5.30pm on Wednesday 13 March and 4.15pm on Friday 15 March.

Witnesses reported two males running away from the car.

They are described as Asian and aged in their mid 20s. One had a beard and the other was wearing a purple beanie hat.

If you have any information about this collision, or the identity of the two men seen leaving the Toyota, please get in touch with us.

We would particularly like to speak to anyone with relevant dash cam or CCTV footage.

Anyone with information can call 101, or report online via our website, quoting reference 44240112208
