Lorry flees crash as cyclist in hospital with serious injuries …
A cyclist could have "life-changing injuries" after a crash involving a lorry in Wigston[1] this morning. Leicestershire Police were called to Aylestone Lane at around 9am but the lorry had left the scene before officers arrived.
Aylestone Lane was closed in both directions near the Viking Road industrial estate while the incident was dealt with. The cyclist, who has not been identified, was taken to hospital.
The force said that the cyclist had "possible life-changing injuries". An area of the junction remains taped off blocking access to the industrial estate.
