A 13-year-old boy arrested in connection with a series of serious collisions across Lincolnshire has been released on bail.
Investigating officers are continuing their work to establish the exact circumstances involved and are appealing for any dashcam footage, CCTV, witnesses, or any other information that could help the enquiry.
At 6.44am on Friday 26th September, a collision was reported on Priory Road in Boston where a male cyclist was knocked off his pushbike by a vehicle that did not stop. He was seriously injured and has been taken to hospital for treatment. (Incident 53 of 26/09/25 refers.)
At 8.20am, the force received reports at Maltby Le Marsh in Alford, that another male cyclist had knocked off his pushbike by a vehicle that did not stop. (Incident 77 of 26/09/25 refers.)
At 8.40am on West Street, Alford, another another report was received by officers, this time involving an elderly man who has been knocked over by a vehicle that did not stop, and the same vehicle reportedly nearly collided with a small child at the location. The man suffered minor injuries. (Incident 79 of 26/09/2025 refers.),
At 10.04am, an additional report was received, after a vehicle on Bluestone Heath Road, Calceby, Alford, was said to have knocked a cyclist off his pushbike that did not stop. (Incident 124 of 26/09/25 refers.)
Shortly after 10.23am, a 13-year-old boy was detained in the area of Hainton Road, Louth.
