Cyclist severely injured in hit-and-run by man who was later arrested.

A terrifying incident occurred on Alma Road in Plymouth, leaving an e-bike rider with serious, life-threatening injuries. The unfortunate victim, a 41-year-old man, was simply riding his e-bike on Friday evening when he was struck by a driver who police believe was under the influence of alcohol and drugs.

According to reports, a silver Vauxhall Insignia crashed into the electric bike and then fled the scene. The police have confirmed that a man in his twenties has been arrested on suspicion of driving while intoxicated and causing serious injury. This incident has caused quite a stir in the community, with a heavy police presence of around 12 cars and 20 officers in the area during the early hours of Saturday morning.

In an official statement, a spokesperson for the Devon and Cornwall Police appealed to the public for any information or witnesses of the incident that took place at the junction of Alma Road and Outland Road. It was reported that the e-bike rider sustained severe injuries and was immediately rushed to the hospital. Fortunately, his family has been notified of the incident.

The police are also seeking the public's help in tracing the silver Vauxhall Insignia with the registration number FP09FYD, as it is believed to be in the Plymouth area and may have sustained damage to its front end. In addition to that, a man in his twenties has been arrested for causing serious injury by dangerous driving, driving while unfit, and failing to stop at the scene of the collision.
