An "dangerous" driver was involved in a hit-and-run near the Magic Roundabout in Swindon.

A black car of unidentified make and model was on the famous roundabout at around 10.05pm on November 1.

Police say the car was being driven in a "dangerous manner in the area of the Magic Roundabout and Drove Road," before hitting another vehicle on the roundabout and fleeing the scene.

The black car failed to stop and travelled in the wrong direction on two additional roundabouts.

It then sped off towards Transfer Bridges before disappearing.
