“A short time later, the car then collided with a second man.

“Officers attended the scene and located the suspect, a 19-year-old man, in the passenger seat of another car in the Greysteel area.

“He was arrested on suspicion of a number of offences, including failing to stop where an accident occurred causing injury and driving with excess alcohol in breath.

“The driver of the second car, a 51-year-old man, was also arrested on suspicion of driving with excess alcohol in breath.

“Both men have since been released on police bail to allow for further enquiries.

“The man who was struck by the car, aged in his late teens, was taken to hospital, where he remains receiving treatment to his injuries.
