Police are appealing for witnesses and dashcam footage after a 72-year-old cyclist was found seriously injured on a rural road near Godshill last weekend.
Hampshire & Isle of Wight Constabulary has launched an appeal for information following the incident on Niton Road on Sunday 8th November, which left the pensioner fighting for his life.
As previously reported by Island Echo, emergency services were alerted at 15:38 after the man was discovered on the road, between the junctions with Roud Road and Appleford Road, having apparently fallen from his bicycle.
Conditions in the area were particularly foggy at the time, with visibility significantly reduced.
Police closed the road for several hours while investigations into the circumstances of the incident were carried out.
The man was taken to hospital with life-threatening injuries, where he remains a week on.
Officers have now confirmed that they do not currently believe another vehicle was involved in the incident, but are keen to hear from anyone who may have witnessed what happened or has relevant dashcam footage.
Anyone with information that could assist the investigation is urged to contact Hampshire & Isle of Wight Constabulary on 101, quoting reference 44260547666.
