Just read this in the local rag.

From what I can make out the lady was a pedestrian and has somehow ended up under the vehicle.
I was surprised to read the driver had been questioned but not arrested. , maybe wrongly, thought in instances like this with serious injury the driver would be arrested as a matter of course.
The only thing I can think it that the initial injury was thought to be small and subsequently became more complicated.

If there's no necessity to arrest, then you don't arrest. Investigation, witnesses may negate the end
