Witness appeal after suspected hit and run in Ryde

We are appealing for witnesses after a woman was located with serious injuries on Fishbourne Lane, Ryde, on 28 September.

Between 11pm on 28 September and 1am on 29 September, colleagues from the ambulance service located a woman in her 50s at the junction with Kite Hill.

She had serious injuries and was taken to hospital for treatment, where she remains.

Police were contacted on 4 October after concerns were raised at the hospital around the severity of her injuries, and that they could be consistent with having been hit by a vehicle.

At this time, it is unclear how she came to be injured but officers are investigating a potential hit and run collision.

She is described as being 53-years-old, short in stature with a large build. She was wearing dark clothing.

We are appealing for any witnesses who may have seen something at the time. Do you remember seeing a woman matching this description in the area? Perhaps you have dash cam footage on Fishbourne Lane during the relevant times?

Anyone with information is asked to call 101 with reference 44240430950. You can also submit information via our website at: https://www.hampshire.police.uk/tua/tell-us-about/cor/tell-us-about-existing-case-report/?__cf_chl_rt_tk=Psty8QEXF7JNVsqJhUwEvJkxUVCLcBSMLxU3vFwgLoM-1728123568-0.0.1.1-5780
