A MOTORCYCLIST was thrown through a garden fence when he was in collision with a car in a Southampton estate.

The man was rushed to hospital after crashing into another vehicle in Wimpson Lane at 7.40am today.

The impact hurled him from his bike through a fence and into a front garden.

He was taken to Southampton General Hospital by ambulance but it is not known the extent of his injuries.

A passerby who was taking his granddaughter to college said: “Paramedics were attending to a person lying in the front garden of a house in Wimpson Lane. There was a motorbike lying on its side in the next garden and police in attendance.”
