Man in 70s seriously injured after collision with car in Louth
A man in his 70s was seriously injured when involved in a collision with a car on the edge of Louth town centre.
The elderly pedestrian collided with a silver Vauxhall Corsa at Newmarket, close to the Co-op supermarket, last Friday (October 23) at about 2.20 pm.
It is likely that many shoppers were in the area at the time. So Lincolnshire Police officers have issued an appeal for witnesses, although they say they are not seeking to locate or identify the driver of the car.
A spokesperson said: “We are investigating multiple lines of enquiry. A man in his 70s sustained injuries described as serious.
"We would like to hear from anyone who may have witnessed the incident or captured the collision, vehicle or pedestrian via dashcam in the moments leading up to it.
"If you feel you have any information that may assist out inquiries, please get in touch.
"You can call 101 or, in an emergency, please call 999. When passing on your information, please refer to incident 266 of 23 October 2026.
"You can also email the officer in charge of this case, PC Steven Denniss, from our roads policing unit, via [email protected], quoting incident 266 of 23 October 2026 in the subject line.”
