A man is fighting for his life in hospital after a crash in Bromley on Saturday (August 28) that police suspect was a hit-and-run incident.

The crash took place at the junction of Woodbank Road and Lincomb Road in Bromley, in the moments before 3.37am on Saturday, when emergency services were called.

Paramedics and police responded to "reports of an injured man", and attending found a 37-year-old seriously injured.

"He was treated at the scene before being taken to hospital, where he remains in a critical condition," a Met Police statement read.
