Update: Lincolnshire Police said they have now located the vehicle.

We are appealing for help to locate a vehicle after a teen was injured in a fail to stop in Lincoln this afternoon.

At around 3.30pm today (22 August), we received reports that a vehicle collided with a 13-year-old boy who was on his pushbike and left the scene. This happened just off Sincil Bank and Portland Street.

Thankfully the boy’s injuries are not life-threatening or life-changing.

A 35-year-old man has been arrested in connection with the incident and remains in police custody.

We are appealing for help to locate a blue five-door saloon Vauxhall Astra with a partial registration of CV55. It is believed to have significant front-end damage.
