An appeal for witnesses has been launched by Avon & Somerset Police following a collision involving a car and motorbike on the A39 near Bath on Saturday 11th October.

A red Honda CBR was involved in a collision with a grey Toyota Corolla on the southbound section of the dual-carriageway, near Marksbury, at around 1.55pm.

The rider of the motorcycle, a 67-year-old man, was taken to hospital with injuries which were initially described as life-threatening.

His injuries are not considered life-threatening or life-changing at this stage, but he remains in hospital with serious injuries and is stable.

His next of kin have been informed.

Officers are now appealing for witnesses and those with dashcam footage of the incident, or of the vehicles involved in the moments leading up to the collision, to contact them by calling 101 and quoting 5225285617.
