FURTHER UPDATE: Second arrest made following reported fail-to-stop collision in Weymouth

Detectives investigating a report of a fail-to-stop road traffic collision in Weymouth have made a second arrest.

Dorset Police received a report at 8.26pm on Tuesday 16 July 2024 of a collision involving a car and two pedestrians on Abbotsbury Road, near to the junction with Cromwell Road.

It was reported that the car involved – a black Volkswagen Golf – failed to stop at the scene.

One of the pedestrians, a man aged in his 20s, was taken to hospital for treatment to serious injuries. The second pedestrian, a man aged in his 30s, did not sustain any serious injuries.

Following enquiries, a 24-year-old man from Weymouth was arrested and charged with causing grievous bodily harm with intent, attempting to cause grievous bodily harm, assault, driving a motor vehicle dangerously, failing to stop after a road accident and failing to report a road accident. He appeared at Weymouth Magistrates’ Court on Friday 19 July 2024 and is next due to appear at Bournemouth Crown Court on Thursday 22 August 2024.

Following further investigative work by detectives, a 59-year-old man from Weymouth has been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder.
