Corby man injured in Lancashire hit-and-run crash
A 44-year-old man from Northamptonshire was seriously injured after being hit by a car as he walked along a road in Lancashire in the early hours.
Lancashire Police said the man was hit by a car which failed to stop on the A586 Garstang Road between Poulton and Great Eccleston just before 01:00 BST.
He was found lying at the side of the road by a couple.
The man, who was from Corby, suffered back injuries and is serious but stable in the Royal Preston Hospital.
