Between 3.30am and 4.30am yesterday (January 17) a 25-year-old man was struck by a grey Volkswagen T-Roc in The Avenue, Bushey. The driver left the scene leaving him to be hit again, this time by a red lorry.
The Watford man suffered serious injuries and was taken to St Mary’s Hospital in an ambulance. His injuries are not life-threatening, Herts Police confirmed.

The HGV driver remained at the scene and is assisting police with their investigation while the Volkswagen driver, a 41-year-old woman from Watford, has been arrested on suspicion of failing to stop at the scene of an accident and causing serious injury by driving without due care.
She has been released on bail while enquiries continue. Officers are now trying to find anyone who saw what happened or has footage of it.
