Family members took her to hospital, and she had surgery on Monday.

Police say it was dark when the incident happened, and the woman said she could not see in which direction the car had travelled.

As part of the investigation into the incident, officers are appealing for any witnesses, CCTV, doorbell and dashcam footage that could help to identify the car and the driver.

The car itself may have a damaged wing mirror.
