Hit and run

By Alesha Capone
A PEDESTRIAN was left with a broken leg after she was hit by a car in a mysterious incident, which occurred on New Year’s Eve in St Albans.
Brimbank Highway Patrol Senior Constable Trent Hewet said the victim, aged in her late 20s, did not see the car when she attempted to cross Mulhall Dve at around 11.30pm. The vehicle, which was travelling towards St Albans Rd, hit the Northcote resident, breaking her leg.
“She landed on the road and the car stopped around 15 metres away and a male and female occupant got out of the car,” Sen Const Hewet said.
He said an argument then allegedly broke out between the victim, her husband and the car’s occupants.
The offending vehicle was described as a late 1980s or early 1990s red-coloured Ford Falcon, which would have received damage to the front passenger headlight area.
Sen Const Hewet appealed for anyone who has any information to contact him on 9313 3378 or Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
