A pedestrian has been left in critical condition after being hit by a car in Elgin in the early hours of December 30.

The 30 year old man was taken to hospital after the incident involving a red Seat Toledo on New Elgin Road, at around 3.10am.

The driver of the car, a 51 year old man, was not injured.

The road was closed following the accident, and reopened around 10.30am.

Road Policing Sergeant Alexander Bowser-Riley said: “I’m appealing for anyone who witnessed the collision or saw either the car or pedestrian beforehand, to come forward.

“In particular I would be extremely keen to speak to the driver of a white Ford Focus who was in the area at the time and may have vital information.

Anyone with information should contact police on 101 quoting reference 0547 of 30 December.
