A pedestrian hit by a car near the intersection of Liverpool St and Victoria Ave last Tuesday is recovering in hospital.
Although a police spokesperson initially reported that there were no injuries, the woman's husband said she is still in Whanganui Hospital.
"She has a gash to the back of her head and she is still recovering in hospital," he said.
A police spokesperson said "the information is updated as details come through from staff at the scene" and may not have been available when the Chronicle contacted them.
The spokesperson said there are no updates with regard to charges and inquiries are ongoing.
