Appeal to find hit-and-run mobility scooter rider who broke woman's hip
Police are hunting a hit-and-run mobility scooter rider who left an elderly woman with a broken hip.
An 84-year-old was knocked over as walked down High Street, in Rowley Regis, on Friday, February 8.
Police say the woman riding the scooter sped off from the scene and did not pass on her details to the injured pensioner.
The victim was treated by medics and taken to hospital.
Two months later, she is still slowly recovering from her injuries in a rehabilitation centre.
