Harringay: Six pedestrians injured in hit and run

A search for the driver is under way after the vehicle failed to stop

Six pedestrians have been injured after being hit by a car on a high street in north London.

A search for the driver is under way after the vehicle failed to stop in Green Lanes, near to the junction with Salisbury Road, Harringay, on Sunday evening.

Police said the incident was being treated as a road traffic collision.

Four people were taken to hospital and two were treated at the scene. None have life-threatening injuries.

The Metropolitan Police said officers were called at 19:13 GMT and London Ambulance Service and the London Fire Brigade also went to the scene.

Some road closures were put in place and a highways team has since worked to repair damage to traffic lights near a pedestrian crossing.

Leader of Haringey Council, councillor Peray Ahmet, said it was "absolutely disgusting" the driver had failed to stop.

She said: "I'm pleased to hear there were no serious injuries, but we absolutely have to make sure the perpetrator is caught because not stopping at a scene like that is just not acceptable.

"If any witnesses were there I urge them to get in contact with the police."
