Auckland City Police say they have serious concerns for a pedestrian who was hit and injured by a car last Sunday morning in Great North Road, but has not yet been identified.
“The driver has left the scene shortly afterwards and Police understand the victim has, at the very least, sustained a head wound [brain tissues found on the bonnet??]” police said.
“We’ve checked with all of the hospitals and are making other enquiries, however at this point we still don’t know who this person is. The information we have is that the victim is possibly a young, dark-skinned woman with long dark hair. There could be any number of reasons as to why that person hasn’t come forward or sought medical help, but we’d encourage them to make contact with us as soon as possible, or tell an adult or friend about what has happened” says Det. Sgt. Blackman.
