A cyclist pedaled (sic) away from the scene of a crash which led to a car sustaining significant damage, police have said. The incident happened on Tadpole Lane in Swindon yesterday (August 31) and involved a car and bicycle.

Wiltshire Police said the car's windscreen was significantly damaged in the crash. The force added the cyclist failed to remain at the crash site.

It has led to an appeal for witnesses to be issued by police. Officers are keen to hear from residents who might have caught the incident of CCTV or dashcams.

A police statement said: "We are appealing for witnesses following a fail to stop road traffic collision yesterday (August 31) in Swindon. At around 2..25pm, in Tadpole Lane, a car was involved in a collision with a cyclist, causing significant damage to the car’s windscreen.

"The cyclist has failed to remain at the scene. We are appealing for any witnesses to get in touch with us, and for local residents to check their CCTV, doorbell or dash cam footage.

No concern for the health of the cyclist?
Stuff the tin box on wheels - the glass is insured (presumably).

The cyclist was so concerned about his own health that in cowardly fashion,
he scarpered, leaving possibly £1000s of damage behind him, probably
because he was uninsured. It’s such an everyday story of cycle-folk, that
could make a long-running serial for the radio.

No helmet cam footage wanted again - how odd.
Might be from the injured cyclist.

The chav on the bike doesn't appear too bothered about any injuries he
might have caused himself, does he?

That's a "bullseye" as we say in the trade. :-)

is this yet another "trade" you're involved in, in addition to your
elevated position within legal circles and your rank in the CID?

Emergency services attended a road traffic collision in Calne this afternoon (Monday).

Police and ambulance were called to North Street following the two-vehicle crash at around 5pm.

An adult male cyclist is understood to have suffered a medical episode and struck a saloon Skoda on the road.

Despite a ‘bullseye’ in the vehicle’s windscreen, the man did not sustained any serious injuries.

The casualty was taken to hospital in an ambulance for treatment and further assessment.

The driver of the car was understandably shaken up, but uninjured in the incident.

The road was closed between Bryans Close Road and Oxford Road until around 6.15pm.
