The Hampshire & Isle of Wight Constabulary is asking for the public’s help following a serious collision in Fleet that left a motorcyclist with a broken collar bone. The incident took place on Reading Road South, near Albert Street, at approximately 9:30pm on Friday 3 April 2026.

According to police, a car and a motorbike were involved in the collision. The driver of the car, described as a dark-coloured hatchback, did not stop at the scene. The motorcyclist, a man in his 20s, required medical attention for his serious injury.

An official appeal for information was distributed on 8 April 2026 via Hampshire Alert. Investigating officers are asking anyone who was in the area at the time of the collision, or who may have doorbell, dashcam, or security camera footage of the incident, to get in touch.

Those with information can report it to the police by calling 101 and quoting reference number 44260156949, or by using the online reporting tool on the force website. This latest incident adds to ongoing local concerns regarding road safety on Reading Road, which has a history of serious traffic collisions in recent years.

Local authorities have recently placed a renewed focus on road safety across the region. Police and Crime Commissioner Donna Jones has introduced a 500,000 pound road safety fund for 2026 to support local efforts, such as speed monitoring signs and community speedwatch equipment, following reports that 1,286 people were killed or seriously injured on roads across Hampshire and the Isle of Wight in the year leading up to September 2025.
