Appeal after Cottenham woman found seriously injured in roadside ditch

An appeal has been launched after a woman was found by the side of a road with serious injuries six hours after going out for a walk.

The woman, who is in her 40s and from Cottenham, was found in a ditch in Beach Road at just after midnight today (Monday, 12 February) after going out for a walk at about 6pm.

She was taken to hospital where she remains in a serious but stable condition.

PC Alex Bond said: “We believe the victim was involved in a collision but the vehicle didn’t stop at the scene.

“It was dark at the time so the driver may not have known they hit someone.

“I am asking anyone who was driving along that stretch of road yesterday evening to please get in touch if they saw anything or have dashcam footage from the area.”

Anyone with information or dashcam footage of the collision, or the moments before or after, should tell police about it through the force website using reference 513 of 11 February. Anyone without internet access should call 101 quoting the same reference.
