The PSNI is appealing for information after a man suffered “significant injuries” in a suspected hit-and-run incident in Derry.
The man, aged in his 60s, was said to be in a critical condition in hospital after the incident in the Fergleen Park area of Derry early on Sunday morning.
Police said officers received a report just after 8.30am that a man aged in his 60s had been taken to hospital shortly before 5.15am with significant injuries.
“We believe the man was potentially hit by a vehicle that failed to remain at the scene in the Fergleen Park area,” they said.
