Melbourne woman will be charged over cyclist crash caught on dashcam footage

Police say they will charge a 40-year-old woman over an alleged hit-and-run crash caught on dashcam footage which left a Melbourne cyclist with grazes and bruises.

Police had appealed for information on Monday as they investigated the crash, which occurred on Douglas Street in Noble Park around 6:40am on April 13.

Victoria Police said officers had since found further CCTV footage "as part of their investigation to assist in determining who was allegedly driving the vehicle at the time".

Police said the Dandenong woman, who was interviewed by investigators on Monday, was expected to be charged on summons with a range of offences.

They include reckless conduct endangering life, intentionally causing injury, assault with a weapon and failing to stop and help after a crash.

The cyclist, 59-year-old Robert Clarke, said he was riding to work when he was knocked from his bike, which was dragged underneath the car for more than 100 metres.
