A 13-YEAR-OLD BMX cyclist from Bidford was lucky to escape with cuts and bruises after a car went into the back of him as he was waiting at the Pleck junction of the B439 last Thursday. The driver of the car, possibly a black VW Golf, failed to stop after the accident.

Police are keen to hear from any witnesses to accident, which happened just before 9pm.
