A 13-year-old boy was arrested and later released on bail after four people were struck and left by a vehicle in a series of hit-and-run incidents that took place on the morning of September 26 across Boston and Alford in Lincolnshire, police said. The crashes occurred over roughly three hours and investigators believe a black Range Rover may have been involved in each incident.

Lincolnshire Police said the first collision was reported at 6.44 a.m. on Priory Road in Boston, where a male cyclist was knocked from his bicycle and taken to hospital with serious injuries. At 8.20 a.m. officers received reports that a second male cyclist had been struck and the driver failed to stop in Maltby Le Marsh in Alford.

A fourth incident was reported at 10.04 a.m. on Bluestone Heath Road, Calceby, Alford, where another cyclist was knocked from his bike and the vehicle again left the scene.
