A teenager has sustained head and arm injuries during a hit-and-run in Northgate.

The 15 year-old boy was walking along Woodfield Road just before 5 o’clock Sunday evening when a black Vauxhall Astra collided with him.

The car did not stop at the scene but was traced to Charlwood Road in Crawley.

A man in his 40s has been arrested on suspicion of dangerous driving and failing to stop.  He has been bailed pending further investigation.

Anyone with information is asked to contact police on 101.
