A man is in serious by stable condition after being struck by a car in a hit-and-run early this morning on Sandringham Rd.

Detective Inspector Uraia Vakaruru said the pedestrian was struck shortly before 4am, and police were still on the hunt for the driver of the car.

The incident happened on the stretch between Skeates Ave and Farrelly Ave, close to the Wesley Community Centre.
