We must have seen the collision one day at night on Strömgatan central in Ljungby.

"He states that he has been hit by a passenger car which has since driven off the scene," said Jimmy Modin, press spokesman for the police region South.

Police are looking for witnesses to the incident

People on site could call an ambulance. It is unclear how injured the 17-year-old is, but the police have been able to interrogate him.

- We have been able to talk to him during the morning, but more than that I do not know about his injury situation.

The police would like to get in touch with witnesses who were present.

- We depend on getting in touch with people who may have seen or heard something at this time on Strömgatan, says Jimmy Modin.
