for hit-run Golf POLICE are still searching for the missing silver VW Golf involved in a horrific hit and run three weeks ago.

They are now systematically eliminating all local vehicles in the hope of finding the callous driver who left a 76-year-old man with serious leg injuries.

Kazimierz 'Ken' Sroka may have to spend another two months recovering in the Royal Bolton Hospital after having part of his right leg amputated following the accident, which happened on Chapel Street on January 19.

The pensioner, of Ennerdale Road in Leigh, is described as being 'comfortable' and hospital staff said he is coping surprisingly well with the situation.
