Image released as investigation into serious collision in Groby continues

Officers have released an image of a motorcyclist they want to speak to in connection with a serious collision in Groby last week.

Detectives from our Serious Collision Investigation Unit (SCIU) have been continuing to carry out enquiries and would like to speak to the rider of the motorcycle pictured – believed to be a black Yamaha – as they may have information about the incident.

Police were called to Ratby Road, close to the junction with Oaktree Close, just after 2.20pm on Thursday 4 June 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 is continuing to receive treatment in hospital and is in a stable condition. No arrests have been made at this time.

Detective Constable Charlotte Wright, from the SCIU, said: “Our investigation to identify the motorcyclist involved has been continuing and we believe the person riding the bike in this image has information about what happened.

“I’m making a direct appeal for the rider pictured to come forward.

“I’d also ask anyone who recognises the bike or the rider and knows who they are to also get in touch.

“We’re also continuing to appeal for anyone who has footage captured on CCTV or a doorbell camera too as they may be able to help our investigation.”
