A MAN in his 80s has been taken to hospital after being knocked down by a van.
Police were called at 9.30am to Wigton to reports of a van colliding with a pedestrian.
A spokesman for Cumbria police said: "No injuries were reported as it looks to have occurred at low speed.
"However, given the age of the pedestrian, he's gone to A&E to be checked over."
