A 28-year-old motorcyclist from Weymouth has been seriously injured after an accident on the A35 at Lychett Minster this morning. (14 September)
Dorset Police was called at 5.23am to reports of a collision near the Axim Centre involving a white Mitsubishi Outlander and a white Keeway Logik motorcycle.
The rider of the motorcycle – a 28-year-old man from Weymouth – sustained very serious injuries and has been taken to Southampton General Hospital for treatment.
The driver of the Mitsubishi, a man aged in his 40s and from Poole, was uninjured.
The A35 was closed between the Bakers Arms roundabout and Morden Park Corner. It was reopened at around 11.20am.
Police Sergeant Mark Scammel, of the traffic unit, said:
“I am appealing to anyone who was travelling along that stretch of the A35 at the relevant time and either witnessed the collision, saw either vehicle immediately prior or has captured any relevant footage on dashcam to please contact Dorset Police.
“I appreciate the road closures caused some level of inconvenience, but they were entirely necessary to allow emergency services to treat the injured rider, investigators to examine the scene and for the vehicles to be recovered in a safe manner.”
