Police today appealed for help in tracing a driver who fled after a crash in Banbury.

Officers were called to Ferriston at about 10.10pm on Monday after reports that a man driving a blue Nissan Primera had collided with several parked vehicles.

Witnesses to the incident saw the man get out of the car and leave the scene, walking into an alleyway opposite where the collision happened, between the junctions of Ferriston and Forgeway.

Officers went to search for the man, but were unable to locate him.

The man is described as white, aged between 30 and 35, of average height and with a medium build. He was wearing a dark-coloured jacket with blue jeans.

PC Gary Hoy said: “The alley the man walked into leads past Jasmine Walk and it is thought that he may have gone into Rosina Walk and then Rosedale Avenue.

“There were a number of witnesses at the scene who left before statements could be taken and I would urge them to come forward and speak to me as soon as possible.

“I would also like to hear from anyone who may have seen a man matching this description walking around the area around this time on the night of the incident, or anyone who knows anything about this incident.”
