Northcote hit and run investigation

Police have asked the public to assist with the investigation of a Northcote collision, which seriously injured a bike rider in July.

A 28-year-old rider was taken to hospital with serious leg and head injuries after the collision at the intersection of High Street and Darebin Road about 7pm on Wednesday 31 July.

The driver of the vehicle, believed to be a light-coloured Toyota sedan, briefly stopped at the scene before fleeing. See image below.

The sedan was last seen driving on east along Darebin Road towards Victoria Road.

Investigators from Greensborough Highway Patrol have released footage of the vehicle involved, in the hope someone may recognise it.

Anyone who witnessed the incident, has dashcam/CCTV footage or information is urged to contact crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or submit a report at www.crimestoppers.com.au
