Motorists are alleged to have "driven around" a cyclist who was lying seriously injured on a road in Hull after braking harshly to avoid an oncoming car.
The collision happened on the "nightmarish" mini-roundabout on Church Street, Robson Way, Wawne Road and Leads Road. Witnesses say the cyclist was lying on the road for some time, with motorists "driving around" before a gentleman is said to have eventually stopped to help.
The car reportedly involved was described as a "black SUV-style vehicle" with the crash taking place at around 6.50am on Tuesday, March 7. Humberside Police launched an appeal this afternoon to locate witnesses and dashcam footage.

Commenting on the appeal posted in the Bransholme News Facebook group, one woman said: "Can't believe no one stopped. Just drove off."
Another person added: "A gentleman did stop eventually after noticing people were just driving around him."
Another commenter assured concerned members of the public that the cyclist had been moved to a bench by 7am. The cyclist was taken away shortly afterwards for medical treatment.
A spokesperson for Humberside Police said: "Officers are appealing for information in connection with a collision that is believed to have taken place at the mini roundabout on Church Street, Robson Way, Wawne Road and Leads Road in Hull on Tuesday 7 March.
