Cyclist, 16, seriously hurt as car fails to stop

A 16-year-old cyclist has been seriously hurt in a collision with a vehicle that failed to stop.

West Yorkshire Police said the boy suffered "potentially life-changing" leg injuries in the incident on Peep Green Road, Liversedge, between 09:05 and 09:13 BST on Friday.

The boy was riding home on an electrically assisted bicycle when he was involved in the collision "with at least one vehicle that left the scene", the force said. He was found by passers-by and taken to hospital by ambulance.

Officers said it was believed that one of the vehicles involved was a white Volkswagen Touareg or Tiguan, which sustained damage to a wing mirror.

The force is keen to speak to anyone who witnessed the collision or who might have relevant dashcam or CCTV footage.
