Police Constable Bill Nightingall of Christchurch Police said: "I am appealing for anyone with information about this incident to contact Dorset Police urgently.

"The driver will undoubtedly be aware he struck the motorcyclist and fled without any regard for his welfare, and I would urge them to do the right thing and speak with the police.

"The victim is extremely lucky to have only suffered minor injuries."

Any witnesses or anyone with information should contact Dorset Police on 101, quoting incident number 6:011.
