Whanganui Police are seeking information regarding a cyclist that was hit by a motor vehicle in Whanganui this morning.
The incident took place at around 7.50am, on the corner of London Street and Victoria Avenue.
The cyclist was on his way to work, riding down Great North Road towards town. It appears that a motor vehicle heading north along London Street failed to give way to the cyclist while crossing the intersection of Victoria Avenue. The driver fled the scene after hitting the cyclist, who sustained minor injuries and was taken to hospital by ambulance staff.
Limited information on the motor vehicle involved is available apart from the colour (green). The vehicle will have damage to the passenger side though. The driver is thought to be a female.
If anyone has information regarding this matter, please contact Constable Dalbeth at the Whanganui Police station on 06 349 0600 or call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
