Officers investigating a report of a fail-to-stop road traffic collision in Purbeck are appealing for witnesses or anyone with information to come forward.
At around 12.15pm on Tuesday 13 June 2023 a collision occurred in Ferry Road in Studland, near to the chain ferry, involving a cyclist and a white or cream-coloured Mini that was believed to have been towing a boat or small caravan.
