The police were yesterday still looking for a driver who was involved in a collision in St George's Road, Paceville at about 9.15 a.m. but drove on.

Eyewitnesses told The Times a man driving a red car collided with another "at great speed".

"The car continued driving past me. I was behind the car that was hit. I could not believe my eyes that the driver kept going because the car he hit was badly damaged," the eyewitness said.

The driver of the damaged car has been hospitalised.

The police were on site within minutes and immediately mounted a search for the car after onlookers noted the vehicle's registration number.

The car was found but the driver is still on the run, the police said.
