On February 12, 2026, Nottinghamshire Police launched an investigation into a suspected hit-and-run that left five people injured in Nottingham city centre. The collision happened at 2:09 AM on Talbot Street, a busy area frequently used by residents of nearby Carlton for work and travel.
Five people were hurt during the incident, and three victims were taken to the hospital with injuries that are not thought to be life-threatening. Officers later found a badly damaged car that they believe was used in the crash at a car park on Deptford Crescent in Bulwell.
Detective Inspector Lisa Jones said that the people involved are thought to be known to each other. Because of this, the police believe the incident was isolated and does not pose a wider risk to the general public.
While the incident occurred in the city centre, the news has prompted local discussions about road safety for the Carlton community. The Gedling Borough Council and the Nottinghamshire County Council are responsible for overseeing road safety and emergency planning within Carlton itself. Residents may see more police officers in the area or face temporary road closures while the investigation continues.
Police are asking anyone who may have seen the vehicle or who has doorbell or dashcam footage to come forward. This information is intended to help officers with evidence and to keep residents informed about any disruptions to local travel.
