Police are appealing for witnesses following a fail-to-stop collision in Blackpool which has left a cyclist with serious injuries.



The incident occurred at around 6pm on July 18th, when the cyclist and a light-coloured van collided at the junction of Condor Grove and Whitegate Drive. The van driver failed to stop at the scene.

The cyclist, a 55-year-old man, was taken to Blackpool Victoria Hospital with serious injuries and is currently in a stable condition.

Officers would now like to identify the driver of the van and would like to hear from anyone who saw the collision and has not yet been spoken to by officers.

PC Mark Howson, of the Road Policing Unit, said: “This incident left the cyclist with some serious injuries and our enquiries to locate the driver of the van are very much ongoing.

“If you saw the collision or you know who the driver may have been – or, indeed, if you are the driver – we would urge you to get in touch with us as soon as possible.”

Anybody with information is asked contact police on 101, quoting log number 1244 of July 18th.
