Witness and dashcam appeal following fail-to-stop collision in Poole

Officers are appealing for witnesses or anyone with relevant dashcam footage to come forward following a fail-to-stop collision in Poole.

It was reported that at around 11.30am on Wednesday 11 November 2026 a collision occurred on the footpath of Harbourside Walk – near to the junction of Green Gardens, Furnell Road and Labrador Drive – involving an electric motocross bike and a dog.

It was reported that the rider of the electric motorcross bike failed to stop at the scene.

The bike is described as dark-coloured and a Sur-Ron or similar. The rider is described as wearing bulky dark blue or black clothing.

The dog – two-year-old Jack Russell Winnie – suffered an injury to her eye and further cuts and bruises but is said to be in a stable condition.

Police Constable Neil Wallis, of the Roads Policing Team, said: “While we are thankful that Winnie did not sustain more serious injuries, this incident could easily have had far worse consequences and we are carrying out enquiries to establish the identity of the rider involved.

“I would urge anyone who witnessed the incident, or who may have captured any relevant dashcam footage from the area, to please make contact with us.”

Anyone with information is asked to contact Dorset Police online or by calling 101, quoting occurrence number 55260177428. Alternatively, independent charity Crimestoppers can be contacted anonymously online using its website or by calling Freephone 0800 555 111.
