POLICE are continuing to hunt for a hit-and-run driver who left a pensioner with serious leg injuries following a collision just outside Crymych on Friday afternoon.

The 68-year-old was airlifted to hospital after being hit by a vehicle that has been described as a ‘lorry with a black trailer’ between 2.40pm and 3pm.

The man, who has not been identified, was walking north on the A478 on Friday, November 18, between Glandwr and Crymych when he was struck.

He was airlifted to University Hospital of Wales, Cardiff, where he is still receiving treatment.

Dyfed-Powys Police said ‘company’ may have been written on the black trailer of the ‘lorry-type’ vehicle.

The lorry left the scene and has yet to be found. Police are appealing for witnesses.

A spokesperson from Dyfed-Powys Police said: “Pembrokeshire Roads Policing Unit is investigating a serious RTC that occurred on the A478 between Glandwr and Crymych on Friday November 18, between 2.40pm and 3pm.
