Bartholomew Street near the Pound Street Junction
A HIT and run in Newbury landed a teenager in hospital.
At around 4.35pm yesterday a Silver Vauxhall Corsa came over the hump back bridge onto Bartholomew Street and mounted the pavement near to the Pound Street junction.

Shortly after the teenager was taken to hospital and discharged with minor injuries.
The Corsa drove away without stopping.
