    A pedestrian has suffered serious injuries after being struck by a police car on Monday evening.

    The incident occurred in Lilycroft Road, Girlington, when a marked police vehicle responding to an emergency call was involved in a serious road traffic collision with a 61-year-old pedestrian.
