A MAN has been charged with two offences over a hit and run crash which left a cyclist seriously injured.

Adrian George, a 38-year-old Bournemouth man, has been charged with failing to stop at a road accident and being involved in a road accident but failing to report it.

The 36-year-old cyclist, who ended up in the neurological unit at Southampton General Hospital in a serious but stable condition, was injured at around 7.45am on Saturday, April 27, on the Cooper Dean flyover.

George is due to appear at Bournemouth Magistrates on July 23.
