POLICE are appealing for information after a car was driven away after colliding with a cyclist in Swindon.
The cyclist was riding along Chapel Street, Gorse Hill, towards Cirencester Way, just before 4.30am on Wednesday, January 25, when a car which is believed to be a Vauxhall Corsa pulled out of Buller Street, colliding with the cyclist.
The driver did not stop and drove off in the opposite direction - towards Cricklade Road - switching their lights off in the process.
PC Jack Newman said: "Luckily the cyclist was unhurt, but this could have ended differently; the male cyclist could have been seriously hurt or even killed.
"We would like to speak to anyone who may have heard or saw what happened or saw a Vauxhall Corsa style car driving in this area at this time - possibly driving erratically.
"Also, if you were the driver of this car - please consider your conscience and come forward."
If you can help with police enquiries contact PC Jack Newman on 101 or anonymously, via Crimestoppers, on 0800 555 111. Contact can also be made via email: CPTNorthSwindon@wiltshire.pnn.police.uk
