Hit-and-run driver charged after cyclist knocked off bike dragged herself off road then collapsed Audrey Power says driver who hit her on roundabout in Melrose “came flying out of nowhere” cycling
A cyclist who was knocked off her bike on a roundabout by a hit-and-run driver whom she says “came out of nowhere” has spoken off how she dragged herself off the road to seek safety before collapsing. Police have subsequently traced the driver and passed a report to prosecutors.
She dragged herself to the centre of the roundabout, out of the way of other motor vehicles, and two passers-by came to her aid, calling 999, and she was taken to the nearby Borders General Hospital for treatment. Recalling the collision itself, she said: “I felt my bike go out from under and all I remember was my head bouncing on the ground two or three times.
“My helmet took the first impact when I landed on the ground. It’s cracked and bashed but it did its job.“My bike will be a write-off though because it’s carbon.”ay and in a subsequent post after the driver had been tracked down, added: “Just to say a massive thank you to everyone who shared the post and sent lovely messages to me and to the police who put out an appeal. Everyone has been so kind and it makes me appreciate even more what a great place the Scottish Borders is to call home.
