Police are hunting witnesses after a car ploughed into three pedestrians on a Nottinghamshire road, leaving one man fighting for his life.
Emergency services rushed to Linby Lane, Linby, just before 9pm on Friday (June 5) after a blue BMW mounted a footpath and hit a man and woman in their 60s, along with an 18‑year‑old man.
The older pair suffered serious injuries, while the teenager remains in a critical condition. All three are still in hospital.
A 23‑year‑old man has been arrested on suspicion of dangerous driving and driving while unfit through drink or drugs. He’s currently in custody.
The road was shut between Moor Road and Wighay Road overnight and reopened shortly before 8am today (June 6).
Detective Sergeant Charlotte Henson, from Nottinghamshire Police’s Serious Collision Investigation Unit, said officers believe several people may have seen the BMW moments before the crash.
She urged anyone with information or dashcam footage to come forward immediately.
Witnesses can call police on 101 quoting incident 864 of 5 June 2026, or contact Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
