Motorcyclist critical following St Martins collision
A motorcyclist suffered life-threatening injuries in a crash near Oswestry last night.
The man, who is in his 20s, was heading along the B5070 when his white Honda motorbike was in collision with a burgundy Vauxhall Frontera 4x4 at about 7.30pm on Thursday 21 June 2012 near St Martins.
The Vauxhall had been heading along Preeshenile Lane, towards the B5070 and Rhyn Lane, when the crash happened on the junction.
The motorcyclist was taken to the Royal Shrewsbury Hospital with serious leg and abdominal injuries. He remains in a critical but stable condition at this time.
The driver of the car, a man in his 40s, was not injured.
Police Constable Kevin Payne has appealed for anyone who might have seen what happened to get in touch on the 101 number.
"I am also keen to hear from anyone who might have witnessed the manner of driving by either vehicle involved immediately before the collision," he said.
"The road was closed for several hours while police collision investigators worked and the vehicles and debris removed from the scene."
