Police are appealing for witnesses after a 26-year-old man fell from a moving Volkswagen Transporter van and suffered potentially life-threatening injuries shortly after 11pm in Charmandean Road.
The casualty may have been on the roof of the vehicle, possibly ‘surfing’, when he fell to the ground but police are still trying to establish the exact circumstances.
