Detectives investigating a hit-and-run that left a cyclist seriously injured have released a CCTV image of a car they want to trace.

The 36-year-old man was taken to Hairmyres Hospital in East Kilbride, South Lanarkshire, after being thrown off the road and on to a verge in Eaglesham, East Renfrewshire, on Monday February 15.

Officers now want to speak to the driver and any passengers of the silver Ford Mondeo seen in the image as part of their investigation.

Passers-by stopped to help the injured man on Moors Road. The victim was taken to Hairmyres Hospital with serious back and leg injuries and was later transferred to the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital. He has since been released.

Sergeant Jackie Dunbar, from Greater Glasgow’s Road Policing Unit, said: "A cyclist was seriously injured during this incident and it is critical that we find the person responsible.

"Officers have revisited the scene to speak to motorists and pedestrians who frequent the area in a bid to glean more information about what happened.

"Residents of Eaglesham have provided CCTV and officers are in the process of checking this.

"As part of our enquiries we would also like to trace the driver and any other occupants of the silver Ford Mondeo as we believe they may be able to assist with the investigation.

"Anyone with information is urged to contact PC Roger Summers at Greater Glasgow’s Road Policing Unit on 101."
