Police are appealing for witnesses to a serious collision which has left an 82-year-old man with a serious head injury. 

At approximately 10am this morning (Saturday, 21 August), a red Ford Fiesta was reversing on waste land on Elm Tree Road, Maltby, Rotherham, when it was in collision with a pedestrian. 

The Fiesta is then reported to have struck a wooden fence and a detached concrete garage. 

A car parked inside the garage (a blue Peugeot 307) is thought to have been pushed, along with the concrete garage, and stopped several metres from a nearby house. 

The pedestrian, an 82-year-old local man, was taken to Rotherham District General Hospital with serious head injuries and cuts to his arms. 

The driver of the Fiesta, a 52-year-old woman from Tickhill, Doncaster was not hurt. 

Anyone who witnessed the incident or the moments leading up to the collision is urged to contact the South Yorkshire Police witness line on 0114 2202970.
