A CYCLIST was injured in a collision with a vehicle in York.

The crash happened in Tang Hall Lane with the junction of Fifth Avenue at about 11.20pm last Wednesday.

Police said it involved a vehicle pulling out of Fifth Avenue onto Tang Hall Lane that collided with a man on a bicycle who was travelling down Tang Hall Lane from Hull Road.

A spokesman for North Yorkshire Police explained: "The vehicle did not stop and the cyclist was left on the road in the junction of Fifth Avenue where he was found by members of the public passing by, who phoned for an ambulance. The cyclist was taken to York Hospital for treatment and treated for a possible fractured collarbone, abrasions and bruises.

"It is alleged that the cyclist went onto the bonnet of the vehicle, which may have caused damage to the front of the vehicle involved."

Police are asking for the public’s help to determine the full circumstances surrounding the collision.

The spokesman added: "In particular, we are appealing for information about the vehicle that did not stop, unfortunately at this time we have no vehicle type, make or model.

"But we urge people to look out for vehicles with unexplained fresh front-end damage."

Anyone with information that could assist the investigation should phone North Yorkshire Police on 101. Quote the reference number 12170187395.
