Police inquiries into a hit-and-run in Cromwell last month continue, the driver responsible and their vehicle no closer to being apprehended.

A police spokeswoman this week said there were no updates to provide on the incident, which left 63-year-old cyclist Colin Reece injured on January 23, and inquiries were ongoing.

A blue Ford Ranger had been sought in relation to the case, only to be ruled out on February 2 when its owner came forward to police.

That led officers to conclude that vehicle was not involved in the incident, and they again issued a plea for information.

"We would however like to hear from anyone who saw a vehicle described as being a metallic blue double-cab, possibly a Toyota Hilux."

The vehicle was thought to have alloy bull bars on the front and black aftermarket wheels, police said in a statement.

"It is believed the vehicle also had some sort of radio antenna or stick on the back of the deck."
