A PEDESTRIAN hit by a car in East Croydon yesterday is in a stable condition but police are still looking for the driver who fled the scene.
A man, thought to be in his mid-twenties, was taken to hospital in a critical condition after being hit by the car at around 6.30pm in Bisenden Road, East Croydon, but is now said to be stable with non-life-threatening injuries.
Police helicopters searched the area but found no trace of the man and the investigation is ongoing.
A photograph taken by a man who lives near the scene of the accident showed paramedics attending to the injured man and a lamp post dislodged from the pavement outside an NHS dental practice.
The nearby resident said: "I heard a large screech and a loud bang from the back garden so I rode round the corner to see what had happened.
"The doctor from the medical centre nearby was looking after the man who had a large bump to his head and suspected leg bruising.
"The guys who live opposite have a serious surveillance camera set up and caught it all on CCTV."
