Motorcyclist injured in Hayling Island crash but car driver left the scene

Police officers are appealing for witnesses after a crash in Manor Road, at the junction with Station Road, at roughly 6.30pm on Sunday, February 21.

The motorbike, a grey Sinnis, collided with a white Ford – injuring the biker in the process.

While the driver, an older woman, initially stopped to check if the motorcyclist was okay, she drove off before he could get her details.

Hampshire Constabulary is now investigating further.

A spokesman for the police force said: ‘The car, described as a white Ford, initially stopped and the driver asked the motorcyclist if he was ok, but left the scene before details were exchanged.

‘We do not have a registration number for this vehicle, but the driver has been described as a white woman, aged 60 years or older, with shoulder length white hair and glasses.

‘We would like to hear from anyone who witnessed this incident, anyone who captured the incident or the moments before and after it on dash cam, or who has information that could potentially help us identify the car and its driver.’

Anyone with information about what happened is asked to contact police on 101, quoting the reference number 44210065757.

Alternatively, you can contact the independent charity Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
