Appeal after dog walker injured in Coseley hit-and-run
A dog walker was seriously injured from a hit-and-run in Coseley.
Police launched an appeal after the 35-year-old man was injured.
He was left with a serious ear injury, broken wrist and hand after a small five-door Toyota car smashed into him at around 9.45pm on October 24.
The collision happened as the man was crossing the road at the junction of Wallbrook Street and Old Meetings Road while he was walking his three Dachshund dogs.
One of the animals suffered a shattered hip, which required surgery, while the other two were unhurt.
PC David Walker, from Force Traffic, said: "This was a nasty collision which left a man and a pet dog injured and we want to find whoever was responsible.
"We are particularly keen to speak to anyone who was travelling in the area at the time and may have seen or heard anything.
"We are also seeking to trace anybody who may have seen the vehicle since. It would have suffered some front end damage which would be noticeable; it may have been taken somewhere for repairs.
"I would urge anyone who remembers seeing a damaged vehicle like this to get in touch as soon as possible."
