Police urge hit and run driver to 'do the right thing'

Follows death of 73-year-old great-grandmother

Police are appealing for the person who left a 73-year-old great-grandmother to die in the road to hand themselves in.

Carolyn Buchan was found on Marathon Avenue, in Douglas, by a member of the public just after 7am yesterday (20 March).

Officers believe she was hit by a vehicle which then failed to stop at the scene.

Her family have issued a statement saying they need answers and have described the Hospice volunteer as the 'salt of the earth' and someone who 'would do anything for anyone'.

Anyone with information can contact any police station, call Police Headquarters on 01624 631212 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555111.
