Mercedes driver fled scene after crash which saw car flip

A driver fled the scene of a crash after a car flipped onto its side.

The collision happened in Gloucester Road on Saturday night (January 18), at around 9.25pm.

Police said a grey Mercedes C220 hit a parked Ford Fiesta and flipped.

By the time Avon and Somerset Constabulary arrived at the scene, the driver of the Mercedes had left the scene.

The force is now appealing for witnesses of the crash to come forward.

Police are keen to speak to anyone who saw the manner in which the Mercedes was being driven prior to the collision or has footage of the hit and run.

Officers would particularly like to hear from a member of the public who showed officers a video of part of the incident but who left the scene before his details or the footage could be obtained.

If you saw what happened, have dashcam or any other footage of the incident, call police on 101 and provide the call handler with the reference 5220014079.
