A cyclist was riding along Wheaters Street before turning onto Harrison Street when it was involved in a collision with a small silver car, which was reportedly driving at speed.
The car then left the scene, turning left onto Great Clowes Street.
The cyclist, a 53-year-old man, was taken to hospital where he requires treatment for serious head injuries.
Detective Inspector Damian Simpson of GMP’s Salford Borough, said:
Quote“I’m particularly interested in speaking to anyone who was on Harrison Street at the time of the report, either as a motorist or a pedestrian.
“Similarly, if you saw the small silver car driving in the area around that time, please get in touch. It was a busy period of time so there may be dashcam footage that would help us piece together the events before and after the collision, as well as identifying anyone we could speak to in connection with the incident.
“We believe there were three people in the car at the time of the collision. If you were in that car, I’d urge you to contact me now. This collision has left a man in hospital with serious injuries, some of which he may not recover from for a long time.”
Anyone with information should contact police on 0161 856 5360 quoting reference 1255 of 25/07/17 or the independent charity Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555 111.
