Two arrested following fail-to-stop collision in Bristol

Two people have been arrested following a collision in Bristol earlier today (Wednesday 27 November).

Officers were called to Bedminster Down Road at around 11.30am following a collision between a van and a pedestrian.

The pedestrian remains in hospital with injuries which are not believed to be life-threatening or life changing.

The van had been reported as stolen and was later recovered by officers abandoned.

Enquiries were carried out to identify the person driving it.

Two people, a 31-year-old woman and a 45-year-old man, have been arrested on suspicion of causing serious injury by dangerous driving, theft of a motor vehicle and for failing to stop at the scene of a collision.

The man was further arrested on suspicion of theft from a motor vehicle, possession of a bladed article and being in possession of a suspected Class A drug.

Bedminster Down Road was closed in both direction while enquiries were ongoing and has since reopened.
