An elderly pedestrian suffered a leg injury after being involved in a collision with a vehicle in the car park at Glossop's Aldi store this morning (Thursday). 

The man, who is in his 70s, suffered the injury after the collision with a black Kia Picanto on Arundel Street, police have confirmed. 

He was then taken to Stepping Hill Hospital for treatment. 

A Derbyshire Constabulary spokesperson told the Chronicle just after midday: "We received a call at 11.26am to reports of a collision in the car park at Aldi.
