POLICE IN THE North have appealed for witnesses after a man was seriously injured in a suspected hit-and-run incident in Derry.

PSNI officers received a report just after 8.30am this morning that man (60s) had been taken to hospital just before 5.15am with significant injuries.

“Initial medical treatment was provided and the man was transported to hospital by our colleagues from the Northern Ireland Ambulance Service. His condition remains critical at this time.

A number of cordons in the Fergleen Park area were set up as officers carried out enquiries into what happened and attempted to identify the vehicle involved. The road has since reopened.

The PSNI appealed to anyone who was travelling in the Fergleen Park area between 4.30am and 5am on Sunday morning to review any dash-cam footage they may have captured and call police on 101 with any information they have.
