Police are hunting a pensioner who left an elderly woman seriously injured when she ploughed into her with her mobility scooter in a Wilko's shop.
Pearl Carpenter, 93, was paying for her shopping in Bournemouth when she was knocked to the ground by the 'out of control' electric buggy, causing her to hit her head on the floor suffer a fractured hip.
Mrs Carpenter, a widow, had to be driven to hospital by a member of Wilko's staff after being warned of an eight hour wait for an ambulance. She underwent surgery for a fractured hip and leg, with medical staff 'not sure she would come through' according to her son.
The woman involved fled the scene on her mobility scooter and police have launched an investigation to trace her.
