Police have released CCTV footage of a blue car as part of an investigation into a fail-to-stop collision on Bridgwater Road, near Felton, close to Bristol Airport.

The incident took place at about 6.10pm on Sunday 14th December, when a motorcyclist collided with the car and was left needing hospital treatment.

According to police, the driver of the car left the scene before officers arrived.

CCTV footage shows the blue car being driven southbound on the A38 towards Bristol Airport before the collision. The footage also shows the vehicle turning into Downside Road shortly after.

Police say the car may have been parked near the Breedon Freemans Quarry entrance just before the crash.

“We are keen to hear from anyone who can help us identify the vehicle and driver. For example, anyone who was driving in the area and may have helpful dashcam footage, or if the car has been brought to them for repairs over the past 24 hours.
