Urgent Hunt Underway for Skoda Octavia Driver
Merseyside Police are on the lookout after a hit-and-run left a cyclist with life-threatening injuries in Maghull this morning. The smash happened just before 7am on Northway, right by the Shell petrol station.
A man in his 50s on a bike collided with a car — thought to be a Skoda Octavia. The driver fled the scene without helping. The injured cyclist was rushed to hospital for emergency treatment.
Roads Closed as Cops Probe Collision
Police have shut roads nearby to piece together exactly what happened. Detective Sergeant Kurt Timpson, from the Serious Collision Investigation Unit (SCIU), is leading the charge.
“We are making an urgent appeal to trace the driver of a car which failed to stop at the scene of a road traffic collision in Maghull this morning,” said DS Timpson.
The sought-after Skoda Octavia is believed to have visible damage and likely carries a licence plate issued between 2004 and 2013.
