Officers appeal for information after cyclist injured following collision in Southport

We are appealing for witnesses after a serious road collision in Southport that has left a man with a fractured cheek bone.

We were called about an incident that happened at around 12.30pm on Monday 2 February where a man who was riding a bike was involved in a collision with a car on Town Lane near the junction of Rivermeade.

The man driving the car failed to stop at the scene and enquiries are ongoing to trace the driver.

Roads Policing Inspector Carl McNulty said: “This was a serious incident that has left a man with several injuries to his face. It is important that we speak to the driver and establish the circumstances. If you are involved in any form of a road traffic collision, you are required by law to stop at the scene and a failure to do so can lead to significant penalties. 

“If you live on Town Lane near the junction of Rivermeade and have any CCTV or doorbell footage from Monday 2 February please check your systems from around 12.30pm as it could have captured the collision and provide us with vital information that could help our investigations.

“We will continue our enquiries until we identify the vehicle and the driver so if it was you or you have any information, please come forward now.”
