Driver walked away from crash scene in Knowle

Officers from Avon and Somerset Police are searching for a man they want to talk to following a hit-and-run crash in Knowle.

They had been called to Wells Road in Bristol at around 2.05pm on January 15 following reports that a silver Vauxhall Astra had collided with a parked vehicle, but failed to stop. It is reported that the driver of the Vauxhall Astra then left the scene on foot straight away.

Police have since released a picture of someone they would like to speak to as part of their enquiries. The man has been described as being white, in his 20s or 30s and of an average build, according to the police.
