They say the woman in her 50s was hit by a white van while crossing Marshlands Road at the intersection with Voss Street in the suburb of Shirley, about 8.20pm last night.
She was knocked to the ground and was bleeding from the head.
The driver didn’t stop to help the woman, who was taken to hospital with serious injuries, police said.
She’s now in a stable condition.
Police say the van had pipes along its roof and will be missing a wing mirror, which was found at the scene.
Anyone with information is asked to contact police via 105 and quote file number 220813/5063.
Sometimes when a business is growing, it needs a little help.
Right now Kaniva News provides a free, politically independent, bilingual news service for readers around the world that is absolutely unique. We are the largest New Zealand-based Tongan news service, and our stories reach TongansĀ wherever they are round the world. But as we grow, there are increased demands on Kaniva News for translation into Tongan on our social media accounts and for the costs associated with expansion. We believe it is important for Tongans to have their own voice and for Tongans to preserve their language, customs and heritage. That is something to which we are strongly committed. Thatās why we are asking you to consider sponsoring our work and helping to preserve a uniquely Tongan point of view for our readers and listeners.
