Police hunt ‘shoeless’ motorbike rider as Scots teen left with serious injuries after horror hit and run

A police probe has been launched after a teenage cyclist was left suffering from serious injuries after a hit and run collision.

The 16-year-old was cycling on Charleston Drive in Dundee at around 5.25pm on Tuesday when he was struck by a green Kawasaki motorbike.

The bike rider fled the scene on foot and ran off towards Elmwood Road before disappearing from sight.

He is described as a white male, around 30-years-old and is believed to be 5ft 10in tall with a medium build.

He had short dark hair and at the time of the incident was wearing dark coloured clothing and no shoes.

Sergeant Gordon Dickson, of Dundee Road Policing Unit, said: “A young man has sustained serious injuries as a result of this incident and we are looking for the public’s assistance to trace the man involved.

“I would ask if you were in the area at the time of the incident and may have witnessed the collision that you get in contact with officers.

“I would also appeal to anyone who has any dashcam or mobile phone footage that could assist with our investigation.

“Police can be contacted by calling 101 and quoting incident number 2414 of Tuesday, 17 November, 2020.”
