POLICE are urging a driver to “do the right thing” following a hit and run crash in Poole which left two people injured.

At approximately 8.30pm on Wednesday March 16 a collision occurred on Holes Bay North roundabout near to the Shell garage involving a red Skoda Fabia and a white Audi A3 S-line. 

It is reported that the Audi driver initially stopped, but gave false contact details and subsequently made off at speed onto the Upton bypass.

The driver of the Skoda and their passenger – a man and woman aged in their 20s – sustained minor injuries.

Officers investigating the hit and run crash are appealing for witnesses or anyone with dashcam footage to come forward.

Police Constable Charlie Whittaker, of Poole Police, said: “I am appealing to anyone who witnessed what happened and has not already spoken to police to please get in touch.

“I would also like to hear from any motorists who were driving in the vicinity and may have captured the incident, or manner of driving of either vehicle prior to the collision, on dashcam footage.

“Finally, I am making a direct plea to the driver of the Audi to do the right thing and come forward so we can take your account of what happened.”
