Police are on the hunt for a driver who ran over a woman before reversing away and fleeing the scene. 

A silver BMW, thought to be a 5 Series model, turned from Whiteman Street into an alleyway behind the MBROS convenience store on Sunday, January 21 at roughly 5.30pm.

While turning into this area, the driver struck a woman in her 30s, causing her potentially serious injuries to her leg.

The driver then left the scene, reversing back onto Whiteman Street and driving away.

Wiltshire Police are now looking for anyone who may have been in the area at this time and may have seen something to get in touch. 

A spokesperson said: "We are appealing for anyone who witnessed this incident to please get in touch.

"If you can help, contact us via our website or on 101 quoting reference 54240007674."
