Great Western Rd has some history of vehicle/pedestrian incidents - it's a wide dual carriageway with pavements both sides. 30mph at that junction and there's a fixed speed camera eastbound.

I hope he makes a full recovery but given the time of night and the likelihood that the pedestrian was "in drink" then the driver of the vehicle has been really stupid because driving off will severely hinder his cause if they are caught and taken to court.

Quote: then the driver of the vehicle has been really stupid Indeed, you can go to prison just for that, even if the pedestrian was 100% to blame for his injuries. And 100% certain to lose your taxi/PH license.
