Describing the crashes in an appeal for information, police said they had received reports of a driver knocking cyclists off their bikes and hospitalising one of them.
Lincolnshire Police investigating officer Sgt Billy Spence, said: ‘I appreciate this is an unusual and, most likely, a worrying set of incidents for people who may been in the area at the time, and we are of course sending our best wishes and thoughts to those injured for a quick and full recovery.
He said a boy was ‘helping us with our enquiries, and we are keeping an open mind about the exact events of today, but we believe these incidents are linked’.
