An elderly man has died after he was hit by a car on Queen’s Road last week.

Police have confirmed that Mr John Reidy (71) passed away last night in the Jersey General Hospital.

He was left in critical condition following a collision last Friday, which took place near to the entrance of Mount Edgcumbe Flats and involved a white Peugeot.

A 28-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of diving without due care and driving whilst unfit in the wake of the accident.
