A man in his 70s was seriously injured after being struck by a vehicle on St George's Rd North in Hastings yesterday.
Police believe the man left his vehicle and was hit by a passing car about 8am.
Last night he was in a critical condition at Hawke's Bay Hospital.
A Unison truck was involved in the accident.
Unison spokesman Danny Gough said the company was doing all it could to help with the investigation and support the staff member involved.
