A woman's been knocked off her bicycle in a hit and run in Aberdeenshire.

It happened at around 1.35pm on Tuesday 13th September on the A93 at Drumoak.

She was knocked out and is still being treated in hospital with what's believed to be a serious arm injury.

The police don't have a description of the vehicle involved, but they want to speak to any witnesses.

Sergeant Rod Smith said: "This would have been an extremely distressing experience for the cyclist involved and significant enquiries are underway to trace the owner of the other vehicle.

"I would appeal to anyone who was in the area at the time and who thinks they might have information that could assist to come forward as soon as possible.

"Considering the injuries the female sustained it is highly likely that the other vehicle involved would have been damaged.

"If you recognise yourself as being the owner of this vehicle, or have suspicions about the whereabouts of this vehicle, I would urge you to get in touch so that we can establish exactly what happened.

"Extensive CCTV work is being carried out in the vicinity of the incident and the wider area as part of our investigation and the matter is being taken very seriously.
