In a concerning turn of events in Cambridge, police have apprehended a suspect following a hit-and-run incident that left a 57-year-old man seriously injured. The accident occurred on Dunbar Road, where a vehicle reportedly struck the pedestrian, subsequently identified by witnesses as a construction worker, who was then dragged by the vehicle.
