A woman is in hospital with multiple injuries after an alleged joyrider hit her with a car in south east London last night.
The pedestrian, aged in her 50s, was struck by the Vauxhall Astra on Woolwich Road in Charlton, shortly before 11.50am last night, police say.
Officers on a routine patrol came across the accident and cordoned off the street, near the Blackwall Tunnel Approach, for just under six hours while an investigation was carried out.
The woman was rushed to hospital with multiple injuries which police say are potentially life-changing.
Following the accident, the driver, a 19-year-old man, was arrested on suspicion of taking a car without permission and driving without insurance.
The road fully reopened at around 5.30am.
