Detective Inspector Ian Ross, from Paisley CID, said: “One line of enquiry is that the victim may have been pursued and deliberately struck by this vehicle and it is vital that anyone who saw what happened contacts the police.

“I would appeal to anyone who was in the area of Oliphant Crescent on Friday evening around 6pm who noticed a dark coloured car driving erratically, or anything at all suspicious, to get in touch.”
