...........HELP - Hit and run A272 Midhurst to Petersfield 26/04/14 2pm
If anyone on here was travelling along the A272 today between Midhurst and Petersfield at 2pm and had a helmet cam or similar running, please contact me urgently (PM me on here).
A mate who was on a demo bike was involved in a hit and run today - driver pulling out of a junction - and failed to stop. I was on a bike behind and my first concern was for my mate, rather than the driver who I assumed would stop - he didn't. Happened at the junction between Elstead Road and A272 here:

Car was turning right out of Elstead Road to travel in direction of Midhurst, we were travelling west along A272 towards Petersfield.
Significant damage to bike and broken bones in hand for rider. Police are checking cctv in neighbouring towns as there will be damage to rear side of car inc a smashed tail light and it'll also be missing the rear hub cap. It's a red Seat Ibiza, sole white male occupant thought to be late twenties / early thirties. If you know him I would strongly suggest that he contacts police before they track him down, as they are treating this very seriously and leaving the scene of a serious accident carries significant penalties.
Anyone who provides me with camera footage that results in identification of the car / driver concerned will be financially rewarded.
Thanks to all the riders / drivers who stopped and expressed concern, especially the guy on the new Z1000 who went looking for the car.
