Images have been released of a stolen motorbike which left a pensioner with serious injures following a hit and run in Glasgow.[1] Emergency services were called to Mosspark[2] Drive between the junctions with Arbroath Avenue and Tealing Avenue at around 8pm on Sunday, December 31 following reports of a road traffic incident. A 69-year-old woman was rushed from the scene to hospital after being struck by a motorbike while trying to cross the road.

Her condition has been described as serious but stable. Officers[3] have since launched a hunt for the driver of the grey Yamaha MT-07 which was reportedly stolen.

The bike, which has distinctive red markings on the wheels, was last seen fleeing in the direction of Tealing Avenue before travelling north towards Paisley Road West. Police carried out road checks at the scene of the crash at around 8pm on Saturday, January 6, to try and identify witnesses that can help in their enquires.

Officers are re-appealing for anyone who recognises the bike or can assist with their investigation to come forward.

Sergeant Chris Hoggans said: "Our investigation has established that the motorcycle was stolen and we are following a number of enquiries to trace the rider who made off from the scene of the crash. Our road checks on Saturday identified a number of potential witnesses who had not previously spoken to officers. "I am appealing to anyone who may have witnessed the incident, the motorbike prior to the crash or who has any other information which could assist to come forward.

I am also appealing to the motorbike rider to do the right thing and come forward."

Anyone with information that could assist officers is asked to call Police Scotland on 101, quoting incident number 2984 of Sunday, 31 December, 2023.
