Appeal for witnesses to collision between e-scooter and pedestrian

Officers are appealing for witnesses to a collision between an e-scooter and pedestrian in Brockworth which left a woman with a suspected fractured wrist.

Police were called with a report that the collision had taken place outside Brockworth Court Farm on Court Road at around 2.45pm yesterday afternoon (Tuesday 20 August).

The pedestrian, a woman in her 50s, was taken to Gloucestershire Royal Hospital for treatment to a suspected fractured wrist.

The rider of the e-scooter failed to stop to check on the welfare of the pedestrian or to provide details and continued on his journey. Officers believe he may also have been injured as a witness stated his hands were bleeding.

Officers from the Roads Policing Unit attended the incident but could not locate the rider of the e-scooter and are now asking him to make contact and give an account of what happened.

He was described as being a white male in his late teens who was of a slim build and approximately 6ft tall. He was wearing an all-black tracksuit with white accents on the zip up hoodie.

Investigating officers would also like to speak to anyone who witnessed the collision or may have dashcam footage.
