We are appealing for information following a serious collision on Portsdown Hill Road.
Police were called by the ambulance service at 9.44pm yesterday (13/8) to the scene of a collision at the junction with Portchester Lane and Skew Road.
This involved a silver Honda Jazz and a cyclist.
The cyclist, a 16-year-old male from Portsmouth, has suffered serious injuries and is being treated in hospital.
An 18-year-old male from Gosport has been arrested on suspicion of causing serious injury by dangerous driving and drug driving.
A 17-year-old male from Lee-on-the-Solent has been arrested on suspicion of causing serious injury by dangerous driving.
Both remain in custody.
As part of our investigation we would like to speak to anyone who saw either vehicle travelling along Portsdown Hill Road – we believe in a westbound direction.
We would also like to speak to any witnesses to the collision and anyone with relevant dash cam footage.
