Arrest in connection with Groby hit and run collision

A 20-year-old man has been arrested in connection with a serious collision in Groby earlier this month.

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 black Yamaha 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 has since been discharged.

The man, who was arrested yesterday (Thursday 25 June) has been released under investigation and enquiries into the incident are continuing.

Detective Constable Charlotte Wright, from our Serious Collision Investigation Unit (SCIU), said:

“While someone’s been arrested in connection with this incident, I’m still appealing for anyone who can help but has not yet spoken to us to come forward.

“In particular, I’d like to speak to anyone who saw the motorcycle beforehand or witnessed the collision occur. I’d also extend this appeal to anyone with dashcam, doorbell or CCTV footage.”
