A woman in her 90s is in a critical condition after being struck by a motorbike in a hit-and-run in Leicestershire.

Police were called to Oaktree Close in Groby just after 14:20 BST on Thursday, after a report of a motorcycle had collided with a pedestrian and then left the scene.

Leicestershire Police said inquiries to identify the motorcycle and rider were continuing, with no arrests yet made.

Police have appealed for witnesses, or those with dashcam and doorbell footage from the area.

Det Sgt Charlotte Mee said: "We know the motorcycle travelled from Ratby Road into the centre of Groby prior to the collision occurring at the junction with Oaktree Close.

"I'd like to speak to anyone who saw a motorcyclist in the area at the time and in particular, any motorists who captured it on a dashcam.

"I'd like to extend my appeal to anyone who has footage captured on CCTV or a doorbell camera too. Anything you're able to provide could help our investigation."
