The pedestrian, a 70-year-old man, was taken to hospital for treatment to his injuries. He remains there in a critical condition.

The driver of the Land Rover, a 29-year-old man, remained at the scene and was arrested on suspicion of causing serious injury by careless driving.

The man was interviewed by detectives and released under investigation pending further enquiries.
