Police in Poole are investigating two incidents of cyclists being hit by vehicles in the town.

On Tuesday afternoon a female Royal Mail worker was struck by a car on Alder Crescent, which failed to stop - but the 40 year old wasn't hurt.

Yesterday lunchtime, a 45 year old man sustained a broken leg and arm after being knocked off by a gritting lorry at the Recycling Centre next to Lidls on Hatchpond Road - and has been taken to Poole General Hospital.
