A motorcyclist in his 20s has suffered life-changing injuries to his arms and legs after a crash with a driver who allegedly fled the scene.

Officers were called to Cumnor Hill just outside Oxford after a white Seat Ibiza was involved in a collision with a white Honda motorcycle when joining the road from the B4017 on Saturday (July 13) at around 2.50am.

The Seat driver failed to stop at the scene and the vehicle was located abandoned later that morning, the force has said.
