Appeal for witnesses after road traffic collision near Cosham train station

We are appealing for witnesses, or anyone with information, following a road traffic collision in Cosham.

The incident occurred at around 8.25pm on Wednesday 21 July on Portsmouth Road, Cosham – just past the level crossing of the railway.

A dark coloured motorbike accelerated through the red barrier lights at the crossing, as they were lowering, and subsequently struck a pedestrian – knocking him to the ground.

A 70-year-old man suffered minor injuries – including a broken ankle and foot – and was taken to Southampton General Hospital for treatment.

We would like to speak to anyone who may have information relating to the incident – especially those who may have seen a dark motorbike in the vicinity of Cosham High Street or Portsmouth Road at the time.

Were you in the area? Did you see what happened? Perhaps you have dash-cam footage of the incident or the moments leading to the incident?

Anyone with information is asked to call 101, quoting 44210289209.
