Police searching for driver who hit teenage cyclist in Blackpool
Police are looking to identify a driver who reportedly hit a cyclist in Blackpool back on the 3rd of September.
The victim was travelling along Devonshire Road at around 8.25 that evening when a Peugeot 407, travelling in the opposite direction, turned right at the junction with Talbot Road and the two collided.
The driver stopped briefly at the scene but left after handing over false details.
Police say it was a nasty incident which left the teenage cyclist with a broken leg as well as cuts and bruises.
The Peugeot has since been located, however enquiries are still ongoing to trace the driver.
PC Ailsa Bunch, of Blackpool Police, said: “This was a nasty collision which left a cyclist with a broken leg. The driver of the Peugeot stopped only briefly at the scene, before handing over false details and making off.
“We have been carrying out enquiries since then and are now asking for help identifying the driver of the car.
"Perhaps you think you may know who it is, maybe you have dashcam from the scene or maybe you saw all or part of the collision.
"Whatever information you have, please let us know.”
