Officers investigating a serious collision in Newport on Thursday (17 April) are appealing for witnesses to come forward.

We were called at 2.19pm to a report of a collision on St James Street involving a pedestrian and a white Vauxhall Corsa.

The pedestrian, a man in his 70s, was taken to hospital where he remains in a serious but stable condition.

The collision took place close to McDonald’s on St James Street. Were you in the area at the time and did you see what happened?

Perhaps you were driving through and have dash cam footage that captured the incident?
