Crash in Havant that saw driver shout at injured moped rider sparks police appeal

The collision took place on the B2149 Petersfield Road, near the junction with Wakefords Way, between 12.45pm and 1pm on Monday.

A Peugeot moped and a dark Vauxhall saloon car were involved in the incident, which saw the driver of the car get out of his vehicle to shout at the rider before driving towards Rowlands Castle.

The rider, a 20-year-old man, sustained a fractured ankle in the collision, and required hospital treatment.

The car driver was white, in his early 40s, skinny, about 5ft 7in, with dark, greying short hair and tattoos on his arms and chest.

A second man also got out of the car briefly. He was white, in his mid 20s, skinny, with dirty blond long hair, and was wearing glasses.

A spokesman from Hampshire Constabulary said: ‘We are keen to hear from anyone who saw what happened or has any further information.

‘Were you driving along this road? Did you see the collision, or did you see the vehicles before or after the collision took place?

‘Perhaps you have dashcam footage that may help our enquiries?’

Anyone with information should call the police on 101, quoting the reference number 44200453697.

Alternatively, information can be left anonymously with Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
