Pedestrian undergoes surgery after Morecambe hit-and-run by e-bike rider
Police are appealing for witnesses, footage and information after a pedestrian was injured in a collision in Morecambe.
At around 1.30pm on Wednesday August 19, an electric bike travelling on Out Moss Lane from the direction of Hampsfell Drive turned on to the cycle path next to the Trimpell Sports and Social Club in the direction of Westgate and was in collision with two pedestrians.
Both pedestrians were knocked to the floor, and the rider of the electric bike left the scene without stopping.
One of the pedestrians suffered facial injuries and she has since undergone surgery.
A police spokesperson said: “As we investigate the collision, we are appealing for any witnesses who haven’t yet spoken to us to get in touch.
“We know there were people in the area, and we want you to get in contact if you saw the collision happen or the electric bike leaving the scene.
“If you have dashcam footage from the area or CCTV footage from the Hampsfell Drive and Out Moss Lane/Westgate area, again please get in touch.
“Please contact 101, quoting log 0652 of August 19th.”
