Avon Police Seek Help After Vehicle Hits Bicyclist

AVON, CT — Local police are seeking the public's help as they investigate a vehicle-versus-bicycle incident last week that, thankfully, didn't result in serious injuries to the rider.

The Avon Police Department posted a request for help on Sunday, March 23, regarding the incident that happened last Wednesday, March 19.

According to the APD, at approximately 6:37 p.m., a bicyclist was struck by a vehicle at the intersection of Craigemore Circle and No Name Lane.

"The bicyclist suffered only minor injuries, though the driver evaded the scene," wrote the APD. "The victim does not recall much information about the vehicle, but knows an elderly female was walking in the area who witnessed the incident."

Police said they are hoping the woman who witnessed the incident will see this.

The APD is also asking if someone who knows their mother/sister/grandmother walks in the area could mention that the police need her assistance.

Anyone who witnessed or may have surveillance footage of this incident is asked to contact APD Officer Riya Patel at 860-409-4200 or rpatel@avonct.gov.
