Wiltshire Police is appealing for information to help identify a car which failed to stop after colliding with a cyclist in Swindon.
Just before 4.30am on Wednesday 25 January 2017 a man was cycling along Chapel Street, Gorse Hill, towards Cirencester Way, when a car (believed to be a Vauxhall Corsa) pulled out of Buller Street – colliding with the cyclist.
The driver did not stop and drove off in the opposite direction (towards Cricklade Road) switching their lights off in the process.
PC Jack Newman said: “Luckily the cyclist was un-hurt, but this could have ended differently; the male cyclist could have been seriously hurt or even killed.
“We would like to speak to anyone who may have heard or saw what happened or saw a Vauxhall Corsa style car driving in this area at this time – possibly driving erratically.
“Also, if you were the driver of this car – please consider your conscience and come forward.”
If you can help with our enquiries please contact PC Jack Newman on 101 or anonymously, via Crimestoppers, on 0800 555 111. Contact can also be made via e-mail: [email protected].
