Police are appealing for information and witnesses after a man was left seriously injured following a collision in Rivington.
They received the report shortly before 7pm yesterday (10th August), that a Husqvarna 701 Supermoto motorbike had collided with a Nissan Qashqai on Rivington Road in Belmont.
The rider of the motorbike, a 20-year-old man, was taken to hospital with injuries, where he remains in a critical condition.
Enquiries are ongoing into the circumstances of the collision. At this stage, the driver of the Qashqai, who suffered minor injuries, is being treated as a witness in our investigation.
Sgt Pete Fyans, of the Roads Policing Unit, said: “A young man has suffered some quite significant injuries as a result of the collision, and our enquiries into how it occurred are ongoing.
“We know there was a group of motorcyclists in a nearby carpark at the time of the collision, and we may not have spoken to everyone. If you were one of those people, or you know someone who was in the Belmont area, please get in touch.
“If you have dashcam or CCTV footage of Belmont Road, between 6.50pm and 7.10pm, please let us know.”
