A woman in her 50s suffered serious injuries after she was struck by a grey Ford Ranger in the Tesco Extra car park on Riverside Avenue, Bournemouth on Monday 18 May 2026. The collision happened at around 8.55pm and the pedestrian was taken to hospital for treatment.
Dorset Police are now appealing for witnesses and dashcam footage to help establish exactly what happened. Police Constable Tracey Street, of the Roads Policing Team, said: “I am appealing to anyone who saw what happened and has not already spoken to police to please come forward. I am also keen to hear from anyone who may have captured the collision, or moments leading up to it, on dashcam footage.”
The force issued the appeal on 26 May, a week after the incident. Officers have not yet disclosed the woman’s current condition or provided further details about the driver. The car park remains open and the investigation is ongoing.
