A suspected hit-and-run in Lower Hutt this weekend left a woman with serious injuries.
Police said a report was received shortly after noon on Saturday about a car colliding with a pedestrian on High St.
"The car did not remain at the scene," a police spokeswoman said.
The incident was thought to have happened between Taine St and Tocker St, near the railway station.
Police said the victim was hospitalised with serious injuries.
"Police first received a report of this incident at 12:10pm yesterday," the spokeswoman added.
"Information from the informant stated that the incident had occurred 15 minutes before police were called, and that ambulances were on scene."
Police officers were dispatched and on scene by 12.24pm.
"Immediate work was undertaken to locate the vehicle involved including reviewing CCTV cameras in the area."
Police on Sunday were still investigating and reviewing CCTV footage from the area.
Anyone with information could phone police on 105, quoting file number P045322349.
A member of the public said the person injured was a young woman.
She told the Herald she arrived about 20 seconds after the hit-and-run and a trainee nurse helped the injured victim.
She also said members of the community helped look after the woman and diverted traffic before emergency services arrived.
Constable Vincent Kahui joined in after much encouragement from the crowd.
