Appeal after Cambridge collision

Dear Resident,

Two people have been left with serious injuries after the e-bike they were on was in collision with a car that failed to stop.

Police were called at 12.11am today (26 March) to the collision between an e-bike and a blue Seat Leon in Newmarket Road, Cambridge.

The rider of the e-bike, a 31-year-old man from Cambridge, suffered life-threatening injuries and has been taken to Addenbrooke’s Hospital, where he remains in a critical condition.

His passenger, a 34-year-old woman from Cambridge, suffered serious injuries and has been taken to the same hospital in a serious but stable condition.

The driver of the Seat Leon failed to stop at the scene. However, at just before 2am three people were arrested on suspicion of perverting the course of justice - a 19-year-old man from Luton and two 21-year-old men from High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire – and are in custody at Parkside Police Station in Cambridge.

An investigation has been launched and officers are keen to hear from anyone who may have witnessed either vehicle before the collision, anyone with relevant dash cam footage, or anyone with any information. 

People are urged to report information online here quoting Operation Azazel or incident 7 of 26 March. Call 101 if you do not have internet access.

Kind regards,
