A woman has been charged and is due to appear in court in connection with a fail-to-stop collision in Bournemouth.
Dorset Police received a report at 3.28pm on Friday 14 February 2025 of a collision involving a grey Renault Captur and a pedestrian in Kinson Road, near to the junction with Plassey Crescent.
Road closures were put in place, emergency services attended and the pedestrian, a woman aged in her 60s, was taken to hospital for treatment to injuries that were believed to be serious but not life-threatening. She has since been discharged from hospital.
It was reported that the grey Renault Captur failed to stop at the scene.
Officers conducted fast-time enquiries at the scene and the vehicle involved was located in the West Howe area and a woman aged in her 30s was arrested on suspicion of driving offences. Following a detailed investigation, she has now been charged with causing serious injury by dangerous driving, being the driver of a vehicle and failing to stop after a road accident, driving a motor vehicle otherwise than in accordance with a licence, and using a motor vehicle on a road or in public place without third party insurance. She is due to appear at Poole Magistrates’ Court on Friday 12 September 2025.
