Police are appealing for witnesses following a hit-and-run two-vehicle road traffic collision in Coleraine on Tuesday 17th June.

A report was received shortly after 3pm on Tuesday of a collision in the Rugby Avenue area of the town.

It’s understood a small vehicle collided into the back of a White Kia Sorento vehicle, travelling in the same direction, before the driver responsible for the crash drove off from the scene.

‘Thankfully no one was injured, but this would appear to have been done deliberately,’ a PSNI spokesman said.
