Police appeal for witnesses to hit and run at New Inn, Bridgend

SOUTH Wales Police is investigating a road traffic collision involving a pedestrian, which occurred at New Inn Road, Merthyr Mawr, Bridgend on Tuesday 7th July 2020 at 8.45am.

A woman was jogging along New Inn Road in Merthyr Mawr travelling away from the general direction of the dipping bridge towards the general direction of Ewenny Garden Centre, when a 4×4 vehicle approached from behind travelling in the same direction.

The 4×4 has collided with the female jogger making contact with her back and the rear of her legs before forcing the victim up onto the 4×4 vehicle’s bonnet. The victim has then rolled off the nearside of the bonnet into some dense shrubbery where she fell to the ground. The victim was taken to the Princess of Wales Hospital where she received treatment for minor injuries.

The large grey 4×4 vehicle was possibly a Nissan X trail and was being driven by an elderly lady who has failed to stop.
