A pedestrian in her 90s suffered serious injuries after being hit by a suspected drunk driver in Lyndhurst.

The incident happened in Gosport Lane around 4.30pm on Friday, when a silver Citroen C3 turned from the High Street and was in collision with an elderly woman.

The pensioner suffered a serious injury to her pelvis, with police making an arrest at the scene.

A 54-year-old man from Bursledon was arrested by police on suspicion of causing serious injury by careless driving and driving whilst over the prescribed limit of alcohol.

He has since been released under investigation.

Officers attended and the road was closed for around four hours while the force conducted initial enquiries.

A spokesperson for the force said: "We would like to thank everyone for their patience as we completed important work, as we know it had a significant impact on Lyndhurst for much of the evening.

"We are keen to hear from anyone with information which may assist our investigation, in particular anyone with dash cam footage of the collision.
