Pensioner in hospital with serious injuries after being struck by a car

A woman in her 70s is in a critical condition in hospital after being hit by a car in Oldham yesterday.

Officers from the Serious Collision Investigation Unit (SCIU) are appealing for witnesses after the pensioner was seriously injured on Manchester Street at around 10:50am. 

It is believed the vehicle – a brown-coloured Vauxhall Corsa –  travelled along King Street, turned onto Manchester Street where it collided with the woman who was crossing the road. 

The victim was taken to hospital where she remains in a critical condition with serious injuries. 

The driver, a 24-year-old woman, stopped at the scene and was later arrested on suspicion of causing serious injury by careless driving. 

She was interviewed and has been released on bail. 

Anyone who saw the incident, has dashcam or doorbell footage should call the Serious Collision Investigation Unit on 0161 856 4741 quoting log 1041-10/03/25.
