A MAN has been left with serious injuries following a hit and run near the Bishopton community centre.
The 21-year-old, was knocked down on Greenock Road, at the bottom of Kingston Road on Saturday at 9.50pm.
A silver or grey Audi A1 car struck him and did not stop, continuing in the direction of Renfrew.
The injured man was taken by ambulance to the Royal Alexandra Hospital in Paisley where he is being treated for his injuries.
Hospital staff describe his condition as serious but stable.
The road was closed whilst officers carried out their investigation.
Bishopton officers from the Divisional Road Policing Unit at Greenock are continuing enquiries and appealing for witnesses.
Sgt Kenny Malaney said: "The car failed to stop after it struck the pedestrian and extensive enquiries are ongoing to trace the car involved and its driver, however officers are following a number of lines of enquiry in relation to this incident.
"I would ask any witnesses to the crash, who have not yet spoken to police to come forward, and I would also ask anyone who may have seen a silver or grey Audi A1 being driven in the local area around the time of the crash on Saturday night to contact the Divisional Road Policing Unit at Greenock through 101."
