Man injured in Three Bridges ‘hit-and-run’

A Sussex Police spokesman said: “[The incident] occurred in Haslett Avenue East, Three Bridges, about 6.10pm on Wednesday 27 May.

“Three people were crossing the road from Three Bridges railway station when one of them – a 28-year-old local man – was struck by a car, believed to be a white Audi, which failed to stop at the scene.”

The man was taken to Royal Sussex County Hospital in Brighton where it was confirmed he sustained a fractured rib, according to police. He was later discharged.

The spokesman added: “Police are urging anyone who witnessed the collision or saw a white Audi being driven in the area around that time – or anyone with dash cam, CCTV or mobile phone footage of the incident – to come forward.
