Appeal for witnesses to serious collision in Groby

Information is being sought by officers following a serious collision in Groby yesterday (Thursday 4 June).

Police were called to Oaktree Close just after 2.20pm following a report a motorcycle had collided with a pedestrian and then left the scene.

The pedestrian, a woman in her 90s, was taken to hospital for treatment. She remains in a critical condition.

Enquiries to identify the motorcycle and locate the rider are continuing. No arrests have been made at this time.

Detective Sergeant Charlotte Mee, from our Serious Collision Investigation Unit (SCIU), said: “We know the motorcycle travelled from Ratby Road into the centre of Groby prior to the collision occurring at the junction with Oaktree Close.

“I’d like to speak to anyone who saw a motorcyclist in the area at the time and in particular, any motorists who captured it on a dashcam.

“I’d like to extend my appeal to anyone who has footage captured on CCTV or a doorbell camera too. Anything you’re able to provide could help our investigation.”
