Hampshire and Isle of Wight Constabulary are appealing for information about a driver who failed to stop after injuring a cyclist in a collision on Hayling Island on 5 September.

“We are appealing for witnesses and dash cam footage following a collision in Hayling Island,” said the police in a statement on Monday 14 September.

“Police were called to a report that at 4:27pm on Saturday 5 September [2026], a cyclist and a Blue BMW 3 Series were involved in a collision on Havant Road, opposite the Stoke Fruit Farm Shop.

“The driver of the BMW did not stop at the scene.

“The cyclist, a 12-year-old girl, suffered bruising, but was not seriously injured.

“If anyone witnessed this incident or has any information, including relevant dash cam or CCTV footage, please call 101 quoting reference 44260434783.”

You can also report online or call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.

An image released by the police shows the driver heading south on Havant Road.

It is a legal requirement for any driver involved in a road traffic collision to stop at the scene as soon as it is safe to do so. The incident must be reported to the police if anyone is injured.

There have been a number of collisions on Havant Road since the spring this year. In March a motorcyclist was injured in a crash; drivers of a car and a lorry crashed in June; and there were two separate incidents in July, with one of them involving drivers of three vehicles.

The A3023 Havant Road has a speed limit of 30 miles per hour as it enters Stoke village, between New Cut and the roundabout at Church Road and Manor Manor, which was reduced from 40mph in 2015.
