The silver coloured car – which may have significant frontal damage – did not stop and continued countrywards along the Lisburn Road.

It is believed it may have then turned left heading in the direction of the Malone Road.

Inspector McBain is appealing for anyone who was on the Lisburn Road last night and who witnessed the collision, or anyone with any information about the silver coloured car to contact officers in Lisburn Road on 101 quoting reference number 1512 of 10/09/16.

Information can also be passed anonymously via the independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
