Hampshire Constabulary are appealing for witnesses, or anyone who has any information, after a motorcyclist failed to stop after a collision in Southampton.

The incident occurred between 11.50pm on the evening of 18 September and 00.10am on 19 September on Peartree Avenue in Southampton.

A licensed taxi had been parked at the roadside collecting passengers, when a motorcycle collided with the taxi and a passenger as they were getting into the vehicle.

A spokesperson for the force said: "Were you in the area at the time? Did you see what happened? Perhaps you have CCTV or doorbell footage in the area?

"Anyone with information is asked to call 101, quoting reference number 44210376049."
