A man is in critical condition in hospital after police in Surrey say he was hit by a car that left the scene.

RCMP were called to 128 Street north of 80 Avenue in the Newton area of Surrey shortly after 12:30 a.m. Saturday for reports of a hit-and-run collision involving a pedestrian.

Police say a vehicle struck a man in the roadway, and took off.
