A MAN received head injuries in a hit-and-run crash in a bank car park in West Mersea.

The 32-year-old pedestrian was in the Barclays Bank car park off Yorick Road when he was hit by a beige people carrier just after 2pm today.

Paramedics treated him by the surgery on Kingsland Road before taking him to Colchester General Hospital.
