A woman and a man in his 70s have been left hospitalised with serious injuries after a vehicle collision in Forest Hill.

Police were called to Dartmouth Road in the early hours of Sunday morning.

The vehicle did not stop at the scene and no arrests have been made at this time.

Both pedestrians were taken to a South London hospital with serious injuries and remain in hospital.
