Police are hunting for the driver of a car who mercilessly mowed down a 60-year-old woman on Sunday night and fled the scene.
The woman was struck by the unknown vehicle shortly before 9.50pm on March 12 on the A6091 near Melrose, outside the Borders General Hospital. Police and ambulance crews attended and she was taken there quickly before being transferred to the Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh.
Medics describe her condition as "critical" and the road has been closed while officers continue to carry out an investigation into the hit and run. Police have urged anyone who may have been in the area to contact police as soon as possible as they could hold information vital to tracing the driver.
