Officers are appealing for information from the public following a collision involving a mobility scooter in Chester.
At around 8:30pm on Tuesday 7 February, police received reports that a man had been injured following a road traffic incident in Hoole.
Officers attended and found a 56-year-old man had fallen from his Vespa scooter on the corner of Pipers Lane and Hoole Road.
