A man crashed his car in the town centre yesterday before running away from the scene of the accident.
Police were called to a smash involving a grey Volkswagen Jetta and a silver Ford Fiesta in Clarendon Road at 1.22pm on Wednesday, October 16.
People in the busy town centre road reported seeing the Volkswagen driver run off after hearing a “massive noise”, with one witness saying that a small child was in the other car.
