Help appeal over hit-and-run driver

POLICE are appealing for help in tracing a van driver who failed to stop after knocking down a pedestrian and two young children.

A man aged 24 was pushing a double buggy at the junction of Baxter Gate and Fletcher Gate in Hedon when he was hit by a white van, causing the pram to tip over.

He suffered a grazed shin and a four-month-old boy suffered a nose bleed and grazing to his face and shoulder, while a girl aged 21 months suffered cuts to her lip and chin and an ankle injury.
