Police are appealing for information after a moped rider was injured in a road accident on Mersley Down road on Thursday (August 19).
A dark-coloured saloon car was being driven across Mersley Down road, from north to south, into Rowlands Lane at approximately 3.45pm, when it was involved in a collision with a moped.
The moped rider, a 60-year-old man from Sandown, fell off and received bruising to his legs.
It is alleged the saloon car driver failed to stop at the collision scene and continued north into Rowlands Lane.
Investigating officer PC Phil Mears, of the IW Targeted Patrol Teams, said: "Police believe several other motorists were nearby on Mersley Down road when this collision took place.
"I would like to speak to anyone who saw what happened or who has seen a dark-coloured saloon car with damage to its passenger side door. I'm also appealing directly to the car driver to come forward so we can establish exactly what happened."
Anyone with information can contact Newport Police Station by phoning 101.
