POLICE are appealing for witnesses after two hit-and-run incidents allegedly involving the same vehicle, which left a cyclist hospitalised with serious injuries and a motorist in pain.

The cyclist was knocked from their bike following a fail-to-stop road collision near Trefor last week, according to police.

At around 4pm on Tuesday, 22 May, police responded to a report of a collision on the A499 where the cyclist had been in collision with a dark blue Mercedes which allegedly failed to stop.

The cyclist was taken to Ysbyty Gwynedd in Bangor with serious but not life-threatening injuries.

A short while later a vehicle was involved in what was said to be another fail-to-stop collision on the A499 on the outskirts of Pwllheli when a Vauxhall Zafira was hit. The driver of the Zafira sustained a minor injury.

A man from the Pwllheli area was arrested on suspicion of motoring offences.

Police enquiries are ongoing and officers are appealing to anybody who may have witnessed either collision, or who may have seen a dark blue C200 Mercedes being driven along the A499 from the Caernarfon area towards Pwllheli and who may have dash cam footage, to contact officers at the Roads Policing Unit on 101, quoting reference number W067079.
