Police appealing for witnesses to Natland hit and run

The incident occurred in the early hours of Sunday morning at the bottom of Oxenholme Lane in Natland. 

A woman's Mitsubishi was hit so hard by what she said was a white VW Polo or Golf that it shunted into her van and crushed the front of it.

She said: "Our car is likely a write-off given the damage. We know the car went down Oxenholme Lane and we have CCTV of the car going down Natland Road afterward towards Kendal so we’re looking for anyone with information to contact the police who are looking into it. 

"The car has come down Oxenholme Lane, hit the car and swerved before heading down to Natland Road where they appear to be travelling at speed. We really want to be able to find out who did this. There was some very dangerous driving that has gone on to do this kind of damage and if at least one of our cars is written off the financial impact for us is huge. I already work two jobs so this is the worst possible news for us."
