A MAN in his 50s remains in a serious condition in hospital after being hit by a van in High Wycombe town centre last week.

He was hit by a white transit van being chased by police near the Marks and Spencer store in Oxford Road at around 3pm last Wednesday.

The van, registration RY54 USN, was later found dumped in the Bellfield Road Industrial Estate and police are still searching for the people driving it.

Officers visited the crash scene on Wednesday this week.

Det Ch Insp Joe Kidman, leading the investigation, said: “We are very grateful to those witnesses that have come forward, but I’m sure that others will have seen the collision or the white transit van and, in particular, I expect drivers will have seen it before or after the collision.

“Speaking to them will help us build the most complete picture we can.”

Anyone with information can call DCI Kidman on 08458 505 505 or the Crimestoppers charity anonymously on 0800 555 111.
