A man has been arrested after a pedestrian in his 90s was hit by a lorry in Lutterworth.
Police were called to a report of a white Renault lorry hitting an elderly pedestrian in Market Street, just after 10:30 BST on Monday.
Leicestershire Police said the pedestrian was taken to hospital where he was continuing to be treated.
A 54-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of "causing serious injury by careless/inconsiderate driving" and was released under investigation, the force added.
Det Con Emma Neeves said: "The collision happened on a busy road through Lutterworth and I believe there will have been people who saw what happened but who have not spoken to police."
She urged any witnesses or anyone with dashcam footage to come forward.
