Three people have been charged in connection with a hit and run in Brighton earlier this year. 

The 53-year-old victim was left with serious injuries when he was knocked down crossing a road by a Fiat 500 in Montague Place in Kemp Town on January 14 at 3.40pm.

The vehicle didn't stop at the scene and carried on along Montague Place and turned right into College Street. The victim has since recovered from his injuries. 

Adam McDermott, 32, a builder of Vernon Terrace, Brighton has been charged with dangerous driving causing serious injury, failing to stop at the scene of a collision, conspiracy to pervert the course of justice, no insurance and driving without a licence. 

Robyn Burns, 29, unemployed of Vernon Terrace, Brighton has been charged with conspiracy to pervert the course of justice. 

Clark Walker, 31, unemployed of Ditchling Rise, Brighton, has also been charge with conspiracy to pervert the course of justice. 

All three will appear at Brighton Magistrates' Court on December 15. 

A 57-year-old woman who was arrested on suspicion of attempting to pervert the course of justice has been released without charge. 

Sergeant Dan Pitcher, East Sussex Road Policing Unit: "The decision to release such dramatic CCTV footage at the time was not an easy one to make, however the response from the public and media has been overwhelming. After a significant enquiry, we have now charged a number of people in connection with the hit and run."
