A young man is fighting for his life after being struck by a car in a hit-and-run collision on Christmas Day.

The man, 24, was walking in Manor House, north London, when he was knocked down shortly after 7pm.

Police said the pedestrian suffered critical injuries and remains in a life-threatening condition.

He was treated in the street before being taken to hospital.

The driver of the light-coloured car did not stop and drove away towards Tottenham after the crash in Seven Sisters Road, at the junction with Amhurst Park.

Police are appealing for the driver and any witnesses to come forward.

Detective Sergeant Chris Osbourne, from the Roads and Transport Policing Command, said: “We are studying CCTV footage and carrying out all appropriate checks on the car seen to be involved.

“I am confident we will trace the driver but would urge them to contact police right away regarding this incident.”

Any witnesses or anyone with information should call the Serious Collision Investigation Unit on 020 8597 4874 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
