Coventry Police posted on facebook: “We’re appealing for witnesses after a woman was seriously injured in a hit-and-run in Tile Hill Lane, Coventry, last night just before 8.40pm.
“The woman, 20, was riding a blue motorcycle when it was struck from behind by a black BMW which failed to stop and was abandoned on nearby Westcotes.
“She was taken to hospital with life-changing injuries and remains in a critical condition today.
“The road was cordoned off for some time to allow for investigations, while the BMW has been recovered and will be forensically tested.”

“It is a distinctive BMW M140i Shadow Edition, which was on false plates at the time.”
