Man dies in hospital five months after being hit by car in north Belfast
A man has died of injuries sustained when a car hit him five months ago.
The PSNI announced the news this evening, saying he died last Thursday.
He was in his 40s.
He had been a pedestrian, and the crash which killed him happened at about 8pm on June 15, a Sunday.
It occurred in the Whitewell Road area of north Belfast.
“Officers attended along with colleagues from Northern Ireland Ambulance Service and the man was taken to hospital for treatment for his injuries, which he sadly died from in hospital,” the PSNI said tonight.
The PSNI had reported back in June that “the driver of the car failed to stop and remain at the scene”.
Tonight, they said: “A man in his 20s, the driver of the car, was arrested on suspicion of a number of offences.
“He has since been released on bail to allow for further enquiries to be carried out.
“Our investigation remains ongoing and we would appeal to anyone who witnessed what happened or to anyone who has any information or footage that could assist with enquiries, to contact police using our witness appeal form at https://reporting.psni.police.uk/appeals, quoting reference 1460 of 14/06/26, or to call us on 101.”
