The incident happened at around 6.30pm on Friday, October 23 on Buckleigh Road. A red Honda Jazz was travelling along the road when a white panel or transit-style van pulled out from a side road and struck the offside of the car. The van driver then left without stopping.

A passenger in the Honda suffered minor injuries and was taken to hospital for checks.

Officers believe the van’s registration begins DX24. Following the collision, it is likely to have a missing headlight and red paint damage.
