APPEAL: Gloucester collision involving child cyclist
By Police reporter | 5th April 2024
Officers are appealing for witnesses to a collision involving a car and child cyclist in Gloucester last month.
Police were called with a report that a cyclist and dark blue Volkswagen Polo had been involved in a collision on Stroud Road in Tuffley at around 8am on Tuesday, March 5.
It was reported that the collision had taken place next to Co-op Food when a 12-year-old boy was cycling to school.
The driver of the Volkswagen stopped to look at his car but did not check on the welfare of the boy or provide details, and continued on his journey.
The boy was later taken to Gloucestershire Royal Hospital as a precaution after sustaining bruising.
Officers are now asking the driver of the Volkswagen to make contact and give an account of what happened.
As well as this, they are asking anyone who witnessed the incident and hasn't yet spoken to police or who has dashcam footage to come forward.
Information can be provided to police online by completing the online form and quoting incident 403 of March 5.
