Police are appealing for witnesses after a man with an intellectual disability and speech impediment was the victim of a crash in Napier.
A police statement said the man was hit by a car while riding his scooter at the Kennedy and Taradale Road roundabout about 11.40am on Friday.
An
unknown white people mover-type vehicle failed to give way at the roundabout and hit the man, knocking him to the ground.
"The driver of the vehicle, believed to be a woman, stopped and provided a witness a fake name before leaving the scene before police arrived," the statement said.
