AN ELDERLY pedestrian killed in a horrific crash in New Milton on Friday night has still not been named.
The 86-year-old man, who it is believed had been walking home after shopping at the nearby Tesco store, suffered fatal head injuries after being hit by a car on Caird Avenue at around 5.30pm.
Speaking yesterday, a spokesman for Hampshire Constabulary said the force was still liaising with the dead man’s family and his name could not yet be released.
The driver of the car, a 21-year-old man from Lymington, was not injured in the collision and has not been arrested.
Witnesses or anyone with information are asked to contact Hampshire Constabulary’s Road Policing Unit at Totton police station by phoning 101 and quoting Operation Report.
