Officers are appealing for public help after a report of a possible collision in the villages surrounding the Melton area of Leicestershire.
A report was received last night (Sunday 3 August) from the driver of a black VW Golf who informed a friend that she may possibly have hit a cyclist while she was travelling along some rural roads, from Harby towards Leicester, around 9pm.
It is believed she may have used the A46 during her route.

‘Extensive enquiries have been carried out to identify anyone who may have been injured including a search of the area which has proved negative.
‘A 51-year-old woman has been arrested on suspicion of drink driving and remains in police custody.
‘Anyone who has any information which may help with enquiries is encouraged to come forward.’
