CCTV appeal following hit-and-run outside Irthlingborough pub

Officers investigating a serious injury road traffic collision in Irthlingborough in which the driver failed to stop are appealing for help to identify the man pictured.

Police initially made an appeal for witnesses at the time of the incident, as reported by the Northants Telegraph in January 2023.

In a new appeal released today (Tuesday) with a CCTV image, a spokesman for the force said: “Shortly before 1.50am on New Year’s Day (January 1) 2023, a man in his 30s left a pub in Baker Street, Irthlingborough and fell backwards into the road and struck his head on the ground, sustaining a serious head injury.

"However, before the man could receive medical assistance, the driver of a white van collided with the man on the ground and drove off without stopping at the scene.”

And the police spokesman added: "Officers believe the man in the image may have information which could assist with their investigation, and are asking him, or anyone who recognises him, to get in touch.”
