Nurse, 46, killed in 'hit and run' outside hospital where he worked

A nurse has been killed in a "tragic incident" after being hit by a car outside a hospital.

The man, aged 46, was hit by a Vauxhall Astra outside the Wrexham Maelor Hospital in Wrexham, shortly before 8.30pm yesterday.

Police said the driver did not stop following the incident, and was thought to have attempted to make off from a patrol before the collision.

Chief Superintendent Alex Goss said: "This is a tragic incident and our thoughts are with the man’s family, friends, colleagues and all those affected, including the emergency services and health staff who were in attendance last night.

“Our sincerest condolences go to them all at this incredibly difficult time and specially trained police family liaison officers are assisting them.

“We are appealing for witnesses to the collision and anybody who may have been in or around the area of Watery Road and who may have seen the black-coloured Vauxhall Astra or who may have dash cam footage, is asked to contact North Wales Police as soon as possible.”
