A MAN has been arrested over a suspected hit and run on a pedestrian crossing the road.

Police responded to the incident at Haslett Avenue East in Three Bridges at 6.10pm on Wednesday.

Three people were crossing the road from the railway station, and one of them was a 28-year-old man who was struck by a car.

It was believed to be a white Audi, which then failed to stop at the scene.

The patient was taken to the Royal Sussex County Hospital in Brighton, and has now been discharged.

Police now say a 23-year-old man from Crawley handed himself in, and he was arrested on suspicion of dangerous driving and failing to stop after a road traffic collision. He was interviewed and released under caution.
