An elderly pedestrian who was hit by a car on Par-la-Ville Road on Wednesday lunchtime remains in hospital in stable condition.

A police spokesman explained that it appeared that a car had stopped to let two men across the road when the 78-year-old Pembroke woman also attempted to cross the road as the driver started to move forward again.

She was taken to the King Edward VII Memorial Hospital via ambulance for treatment of a leg injury.

Inquiries continue and any witnesses should contact the main police telephone number 295-0011.
