A car's been involved in two fail-to-stop collisions near Wimborne, with police investigating both crashes.

A dark-coloured convertible, possibly a VW Beetle or a Mini - collided with a Nissan Juke at the Lake Gates roundabout just before 8.00pm on Friday (18th October).

The same vehicle was then involved in a crash with a Ford Fiesta on Wimborne Road in Corfe Mullen.

It didn't stop at the scene of either incident, with a front headlamp from the car left behind at one of them.

PC Alex Kimmins, of Dorset Police, said:

“I am appealing to anyone who saw either incident, or may have captured relevant dashcam footage, to please get in touch.

“I am keen to speak to anyone who may have seen a vehicle matching the one described that is missing a headlight in the vicinity to please come forward.

“Thankfully, no one was injured in either incident. I am carrying out enquiries to establish the full circumstances and would encourage the driver of the vehicle that failed to stop to do the right thing and contact Dorset Police so we can take your account.”
