Detectives are seeking the public's help as they continue with their investigations after reports of a collision that left one man fighting for his life.

Officers were called to the incident involving a car and a man, in Main Road, Watnall, just a couple of miles outside of Hucknall, at around 10.07pm yesterday (Friday 1 April 2022).

A 35-year-old man was taken to hospital with injuries that are currently thought to be life-threatening.

A 21-year-old man also sustained an injury to his arm and has been taken to hospital, although his injuries aren't currently thought to be life-altering.

Chief Inspector Paul Hennessy, of Nottinghamshire Police, said: "Emergency services quickly attended the scene and road closures continue to be in place in Main Road, between Holly Road and Stannier Way, in Watnall.

"Diversions have been clearly signposted, although we'd urge drivers to avoid the area for the time being.

"An investigation is currently ongoing to establish exactly what happened, including checking CCTV footage.

"If you witnessed the incident, or have any information that could assist us with our enquiries, we'd ask that you contact police.

"We would also like to hear from anyone who was in the area at the time and may have recorded dash-cam footage relating to the incident."

Anyone with any information is urged to call Nottinghamshire Police on 101, quoting incident number 790 of 1 April 2022, or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
