A man has been left fighting for his life after being hit by two different cars that fled the scene.

The incident occurred in Seven Sisters Road, North London, at just before 2.40am this morning.

The man, in his late 20s, was left fighting for his life and remains in a critical condition in hospital.

Police believe the two cars involved were an Audi and a Zip hire car and the incident occurred when they failed to stop at a junction by Blackstock Road, close to Finsbury Park Station.

A Metropolitan Police spokesperson told MyLondon: "Police are appealing after a pedestrian was seriously injured in a collision with two cars; both of which failed to stop.
