Police on Saturday issued a public plea for information to help locate a driver involved in a hit and run that resulted to the injury of a 67-year-old woman who was riding an electric bicycle.

The traffic collision occurred shortly after 10am on Friday morning while the 67-year-old woman was riding an electric bicycle on Demokritou Street, Limassol. Under circumstances under investigation, a male car driver allegedly overtook her and crashed into the woman’s bicycle as he was turning left to Kyklades street.

She was taken by ambulance to Limassol general hospital, where it was found that she suffered a knee contusion and was detained for further treatment.

Police conducted examinations in the area where the collision occurred.

Anyone  who has any information that may help to locate the car in question and the driver or owner responsible is asked to contact the Limassol traffic police department on 25-805252, the citizen’s line on 1460 or the nearest police station.
