A CAR struck two pedestrians after colliding with another car and driving the wrong way down a dual carriageway.

The four occupants of the Honda then dumped it and ran off into crowds heading for a Saturday afternoon football fixture in Swindon.

Detectives are hunting for the men and are appealing for witnesses.

The G-registered Honda was involved in the accident near the junction of Queens Drive and Drakes Way at about 3.15pm on Saturday.

Swindon police say it failed to stop and then drove the wrong way along Queen's Drive, heading into oncoming traffic.

Crossing the central reservation near the post office, and just before the next roundabout, the car hit two people on a pedestrian crossing, leaving them with minor injuries.

The car was then abandoned and the four people in it ran off.

No descriptions have been issued for the three passengers, but the driver was male, black, thought to be in his teens and about 5ft9ins tall.

He is slim, has short hair and wore a black and yellow sports top and a yellow and white t-shirt.

Anybody with information is asked to contact the police on Swindon 528111 or the confidential Crimestoppers hotline on (0800) 555111.
