The woman was found with serious injuries in a ditch on Beach Road, Cottenham, on 12 February

Police investigating the discovery of a seriously-injured woman by the side of a road have renewed an appeal for information.

The woman, in her 40s and from Cottenham, Cambridgeshire, was found in a ditch at Beach Road just after midnight on 12 February.

She remains in hospital with life-threatening injuries, Cambridgeshire Police said.

The force said it was keen to pinpoint the time a collision took place.

Investigators said the woman had left home for a walk at about 18:00 GMT on 11 February.

She was found with serious injuries by the side of Beach Road, close to an industrial unit and on a stretch of road with no street lighting or clear footpath, the force added.

Det Sgt Craig Wheeler, from Cambridgeshire Police, said: "We would urge anyone who drove along Beach Road, in Cottenham, on the evening of Sunday, 11 February, to get in touch."If you have dashcam footage, even if it doesn't appear to show anything, this could be really helpful in enabling us to pinpoint the time the collision took place.

"Any information you have, no matter how small, could be crucial to our investigation."
