A CYCLIST was injured when a car hit her back wheel, police have said.

Humberside Police said the woman was cycling at the junction of Ilkeston Avenue and Eton Road, Goole, at about 9.15pm on Thursday.

A spokesman said the woman was taken to Scunthorpe General Hospital with injuries to her face and back.

He said police did not know what type of vehicle was involved, as the cyclist was hit from behind, and the motorist did not stop following the incident.

Anyone who saw the incident, or has information which could help police should phone Humberside Police on non-emergency number 101.
