The driver of the vehicle, which has been described as a silver or grey Estate, stopped at the scene but left before police arrived. It was last seen driving along Saffron Lane towards Sturdee Road.

PC Mark Bebbington, from Welford Road local policing unit, said: "We would urge anyone who witnessed the collision or who saw either the pedestrian or the vehicle in the moments leading up to the incident to please get touch.

"If you do know who this driver is, please get in touch with us or encourage them to make contact themselves.

"We're also keen to hear from two young men who stopped and assisted the pedestrian but did not leave any details. They possibly could have witnessed this collision so we would ask them to make contact with us with any information they have."

Anyone with any information about the collision is asked to contact PC 1817 Mark Bebbington on Leicester (0116) 222 2222, follow the instructions to leave a message for an officer and when prompted key in his identification number 1817.
