A 30-year-old man from Newent was taken to hospital with serious injuries after his motorcycle was involved in an accident on Monday evening.

The man was riding a a black Suzuki motorbike on the B4215 at Highnam, outside Gloucester, just after 5.30pm, when he was involved in a collision with a silver Citroen C3 driven by a 19-year-old local woman and a grey Audi A3 driven by a 48-year-old local woman.

The man was taken to Southmead Hospital in Bristol with injuries to his leg and pelvis. He remains in a serious condition. The women in the other cars were uninjured.

Road closures were in place until 11pm while a collision investigation took place.

Officers are appealing for witnesses to the collision, particularly the driver of a small blue car that was turning from the entrance to Highnam Village Hall who may be unaware of the crash.

Anyone who can help should call 101, quote incident 419 of October 21 and ask for PC Norman-St-George.
