POLICE are appealing for information after a pensioner was seriously injured in a crash.
The 80-year-old man was crossing a road in East Kilbride when he was hit by a black Renault Clio.
The incident happened in Stuart Street, near the Village Inn, at about 7.50am on Wednesday.
The road was closed as investigators examined the site.
Sergeant Andrew Shearer said: “From our inquiries, we know that there were several people who were in the area at the time of the incident.
“I would urge these people to contact us as their information could prove vital.
“I would also ask any motorists with dashcam devices to check their footage as they may have captured images which would assist us in establishing the full circumstances of what has happened.”
Anyone with information is asked to call Police Scotland on 101, quoting incident number 0428 of Wednesday November 24 2021.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
