Motorcyclist fights for life after crash
6:20pm Sunday 12th October 2008
By Warwick Payne »
A MOTORCYLIST is tonight still fighting for life after a serious accident in Hampshire.
The 43-year-old suffered head, chest and spinal injuries after the crash near Owslebury.
He is currently in Southampton General Hospital where his condition has bee described as "critical".
Along with the rider from Winchester, three other vehicles were involved in the collision on Morestead Road near Whitechapel Farm.
Police want to trace a motorist in a silver-coloured hatchback who might have witnessed the accident.
Sergeant Simon Goss said: "I need to reassure the driver that he or she is not suspected of anything, but that person may have important information about the circumstances of the collision. We do need to hear from you."
The crash happened at 5pm on Thursday.
Police said a Rover MG driven by a 24-year-old Eastleigh man collided with a Peugeot 306 driven by a 24-year-old Winchester man on a left-hand bend.
They added that a black Vauxhall Astra, driven by a 45-year-old Waterlooville woman, then swerved to avoid the debris.
Police said the black Yamaha motorbike coming the opposite way then crashed into the Vauxhall.
They said the motorist suffered shock and was treated at the Royal Hampshire County Hospital in Winchester and then released.
The motorcyclist was taken by air ambulance to Southampton hospital.
Any witnesses are urged to call Cosham roads policing unit on 0845 045 4545 quoting Operation Vallo, or the anonymous Crimestoppers line on 0800 555111.

Do these people just seek attention or do they just love the shock factor they create.
Whatever, they should keep their sick opinions to themselves.
I happen to know one of those involved and he would do anything for anyone.
It was a sad accident, no more no less.

Funny these stories keep appearing isn't it. I hope the rider gets better but I bet you his speeding was a major factor in the accident.

This is getting boring.
When will people wake up and smell the coffee?
Motorcyclists are creating chaos on our roads.
