A MAN who was thrown 50 feet after being hit by a car which was being pursued by police is still in a critical condition in hospital.
A light blue Vauxhall Astra, was driven away from the scene after it hit the man while attempting to overtake a bus on the pelican crossing near the junction with Bankfield Street.
It is thought that the car was going through a red light when it hit the man, who was thrown into the air and about 50 feet along the road before landing outside the A’la Pizza takeaway.
