Appeal for help identifying man involved in collision on Bonnie Prince island

Detectives are appealing for help identifying a man involved in a collision on the Bonnie Prince island, Derby, in the early hours of this morning (31 May).

A man was found on the roundabout, which links the Swarkestone Road to junction 3 of the A50 in Chellaston, with significant injuries at around 3.20am. The man was taken to hospital where he remains in a serious condition.

Officers have been unable to identify the man and are now appealing for the public’s help to find out who he is.

The man, who is believed to be in his 20s or 30s, is white with a stubbly beard and a shaved head. He was found wearing a red Hungry Horse t-shirt, a black Eider jacket, a black Trespass hooded jacket, grey joggers and black Nike Air 270 trainers.

A 25-year-old man from Derby has been arrested on suspicion of causing serious injury by dangerous driving and failing to stop at the scene of a collision and remains in police custody.
