Police have a vital clue in their hunt to identify a hit-and-run driver who left a dad fighting for his life. Cyclist Marian Carare, 48, was on his way to work at an Amazon warehouse when he was struck from behind by a white car.
The incident happened on Oldham Road in Rochdale in the early hours of Sunday (May 14). Marian spent several days in intensive care at North Manchester General Hospital but the father-of-two is now out of danger.
Now, Greater Manchester Police have established that the car which struck Marian was a white BMW 1 Series model. In a statement, the force said: "Parts that were at the scene that appear to be from the offending vehicle were recovered and on those items were part numbers, those have been checked and it appears to match a vehicle of that type."
