A cyclist was knocked off his bike in a collision with a vehicle in Harrogate yesterday (Tuesday, February 6).
North Yorkshire Police, which is now appealing for witnesses and dash-cam footage, said the incident happened at around 7.30am on the B6161 Oaker Bank.
Both the cyclist and the car were travelling towards the Jubilee Roundabout prior to the collision, the force added.
Police today said:
“The car driver did not stop at the scene.
“The vehicle is believed to be a white Volkswagen Golf, 2014-2019 model. A wing mirror light bar and cover were detached during the collision, and so the car will have distinctive damage to its wing mirror.”
Officers said the cyclist, a man in his 40s, was “not seriously injured”. They added:
“If you were the car driver involved, please contact North Yorkshire Police.
“In addition, anyone who witnessed the collision, recognises the car involved, or is aware of a VW Golf with wing mirror damage, is asked to get in touch.
“Please email [email protected], or call 101, quoting reference 12240022993.”
This is the fourth incident of its kind in less than two months.
It follows a spate of separate incidents, which saw three cyclists knocked off their bikes in Harrogate in just one month.
