POLICE are hunting the driver of a Skoda Fabia who drove off after causing a crash on a Hampshire motorway.

The bike, a Triumph Rocket, was driven by a 55- year-old, and his passenger was a 50-year-old woman, both from Ventnor, Isle of Wight, and they sustained minor injuries.
The incident happened on the M271, near to the roundabout at the junction with the M27, on Sunday, at about 12.55pm.
