A woman was seriously injured when she was hit by a van earlier this month, with police hunting for the driver who dropped the victim home instead of taking her to hospital.

The 76-year-old woman was walking on Barkers Rd at Noble Park North — in Melbourne’s southeast — when she was hit by the van while crossing Eagle Dr about 6.30am on Saturday, July 5.

She suffered serious upper body injuries as a result.

Victoria Police say the woman, who does not speak English, was able to communicate to the driver where she lived and he dropped her outside her home before driving off.

“The pair did not exchange details,” Victoria Police said.

The woman was later assessed by paramedics and taken to hospital with serious injuries.

Victoria Police have released CCTV footage and an image of the van they believe was involved in the incident.

Anyone who witnessed the collision or has any dashcam/ CCTV footage from the area is urged to contact Crime Stoppers.
