Arrest After "Fail to Stop" Collision in Scarborough

Police say a cyclist was seriously injured in the collision.

Scarborough Police say they were called to a road traffic collision (RTC) on Castle Road with the junction with St Thomas Street in Scarborough last night after a cyclist was struck by a black Jaguar car at around 8:40pm, which then failed to stop at the scene and drove away.

The cyclist was helped by members of the public until Police and Ambulance arrived.

Enquiries subsequently revealed further details about the vehicle. A search for the vehicle was undertaken by officers from Scarborough’s Response Team One, Neighbourhood Policing Team Six and the Roads Policing Team.

The Jaguar was located and recovered a short time afterwards. The suspect was then found separately and arrested.

Traffic Constable Huw Walkey from North Yorkshire Police's Roads Policing Team said

"This was a serious collision, where the cyclist was injured. The driver has been arrested for causing serious injury by careless driving. Thankfully, the cyclist was wearing a helmet, which took a substantial impact."

The suspect has been interviewed and released under investigation, to allow further enquiries.

TC Walkey said

"The cyclist has a serious injury, but is recovering. The black Jaguar car came from St Thomas Street, if you were in the area, and saw it prior to the collision, please get in touch."

North Yorkshire Polcie say:

"If you saw the RTC, or were in the area around the time of the collision with dash or cycle cam, and we haven't already spoken to you, please contact TC Huw Walkey via 101 option 4, or by emailing Huw.Walkey@northyorkshire.police.uk   quoting reference 12140090204."
