OAP fighting for his life after being struck by car in Hamilton Town Centre

A 90-year-old man is fighting for his life after he was struck by a car in Hamilton Town Centre on Friday morning.

Emergency services rushed to the town at around 9.30am after reports of an elderly man being hit by a car.

Police are now appealing for information after the OAP was seriously injured.

Officers say at around 9.25am on Friday, November 13, the man, who was using a three wheeled walker, was crossing Leechlee Road, near to Brandon Street, when he was hit by a red Ford Kuga travelling north.

He was taken by ambulance to the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital in Glasgow where medical staff describe his condition as critical.

The 32-year-old female driver of the Ford Kuga was not injured.

Constable Gemma Blackadder, Motherwell Road Policing Unit, said: “Although police have spoken to a number of people who assisted at the scene, we are still keen to hear from anyone who saw what happened or who may has dash-cam footage from the street at the time.

“Information can be passed to officers at Motherwell Road Policing Unit via 101. Please quote reference number 0820 of 13 November, 2020 when calling.”
