A cyclist has suffered injuries after he was hit by a tractor in an East Riding village.

The man on the bike pulled over on to the side of the road in Laxton, near Goole, on Sunday, at around 3pm, to allow a tractor to pass by him safely.

However, as the tractor came past, the mechanism of the tractor clipped the cyclist which caused bruising to his arm.

The tractor driver did not stop despite knowing they had hit the cyclist.

Another cyclist was present at the time but did not leave their details so police have been unable to gather a witness statement from him.

Humberside Police have since launched an appeal for information and they are keen for the tractor driver, as well as the second cyclist, to get in touch with them immediately.

A spokesman for the force said: "We are asking for anyone who knows about the incident and especially the tractor driver and the second cyclist to call us on the non-emergency number."



Call 101, quoting log 394 of August 13, 2017.
