Officers are appealing for witnesses or anyone with relevant dashcam footage to come forward following a serious injury collision in Christchurch.

Dorset Police was called at 7.26am on Thursday 27 May 2021 to a report of a single vehicle collision involving a Lexmoto FMR 125 motorcycle on Normandy Drive.

The rider of the motorcycle – a man aged in his 20s from Christchurch – was taken to Southampton General Hospital for treatment. His condition is described as life-threatening.

The road was closed to allow emergency services to treat the injured man and carry out an examination of the scene. 

Police Sergeant Rhys Griffiths, of the traffic unit, said: “We are carrying out enquiries to establish the full circumstances of this collision and I am appealing for any witnesses to please come forward.

“I would urge any motorists who were travelling in the area and have dashcam fitted to their vehicle to please view it for any relevant footage that may assist my investigation.

“Finally, I would like to thank motorists for their patience during the road closure, which was absolutely necessary to enable emergency services to attend the scene in a safe manner and provide medical treatment.”
