A GRANDAD has been fitted with a new hip after being knocked down in a hit-and-run outside Tesco in Warfield.
Brian Rushby, 82, was walking near the delivery goods entrance in County Lane at 10.30am on Wednesday, December 1, when he was 'struck by a red car'.
Police said they are investigating the incident which left Brian in hospital needing an operation.
His family are pleased to say that his operation was successful.
Brian's brother-in-law said: "They fitted a new hip but he will be in hospital for a few more days and then plenty of physiotherapy to get him moving again."
Brian was found lying on the floor by a dog walker. They managed to call his wife and his daughter to help him.
The emergency services also rushed to his aid after a police bike called them for assistance.
