A TESCO delivery driver was injured in a hit and run while he was making his rounds. 

The victim was in Old Heath Road, Colchester, shortly before 5pm yesterday when a passing white van struck his own van before also injuring him. 

The driver of the passing white van then drove away without stopping.

The victim, a 31-year-old man, was taken to hospital with injuries, which were not believed to be serious.

A Tesco spokesman said: "We wish our colleague a quick recovery and are supporting him, as well as assisting the police with their investigation."

An East of England Ambulance Service spokesman said: "An ambulance officer and ambulance crew attended to a report of a man in his 30s who had a pelvis injury.

"He was treated at the scene and taken to Colchester General Hospital for further care.

"His injuries are not believed to be life-threatening."
