POLICE are searching for a driver who was involved in a "hit and run" crash, which knocked a cyclist off their bike.

The collision happened on the A27 Botley Road, North Baddesley, between a Toyota Corolla and cyclist.

The driver of the car reportedly stopped beyond the traffic lights in Rownhams Road, got out of the car to check on the injured cyclist and then decided to drive away without stopping, according to a Facebook post from Test Valley Cops.

The cyclist suffered minor injuries following the crash, which happened on Friday (May 14) at around 10.50am.

Hampshire Constabulary said the Toyota is believed to be silver or light blue.

The vehicle is likely to have sustained damage to the passenger side wing mirror, after leaving debris at the scene.

Anyone who has seen a vehicle matching the description with fresh damage, should contact the force.

A spokesperson from Hampshire police said: "Did you see what happened? Were you in the area at the time? Perhaps you have dash-cam footage?

"Anyone with information in relation to this incident which could aid our investigation is asked to call 101, quoting 44210185921.

"Alternative, you can contact independent charity Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111."
