A RUNNER was knocked down by a car which failed to stop on the road between Cricklade and Purton last Wednesday.

Wiltshire Police are appealing for witnesses to the incident which involved a Silver Honda Jazz that struck a runner and then drove off at around 6:30pm on April 15.

The 26-year-old man hit by the car was seen to by an ambulance but did not require a trip to hospital, escaping with only a minor laceration.

Police would like to speak to the driver of this car. We ask them to contact 101 or anonymously via Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
