(about 2 hours later) | |
Police in Wrexham are looking for a hit-and-run driver after an elderly man on a mobility scooter was injured. | |
Bill Jones, 85, has his arm in a sling and facial injuries after the collision in Gresford on Friday night. | |
Mr Jones was leaving Gresford British Legion around 21:30 BST when he was hit by a blue BMW. | |
"He feels like he's done fifteen rounds - he's not feeling fantastic but he's not the type of person to show it," said grandson John Peake. | |
Mr Jones, a former lollipop man and gas engineer originally from Swansea who has lived in Gresford nearly forty years, is recovering at home after treatment at Wrexham Maelor hospital. | |
Police have asked anyone with information about the incident or the car involved to call them on 101, quoting reference number P176634. | Police have asked anyone with information about the incident or the car involved to call them on 101, quoting reference number P176634. |
