Man left critically injured following Blackburn collision

Police are appealing for witnesses and dashcam footage following a collision in Blackburn which left a motorcyclist with potentially life-threatening injuries.

Officers were called to Livesey Branch Road at 1.28pm yesterday (20th of December 2023) to reports of a collision involving a Suzuki RM 125 motorbike and a Vauxhall Insignia.

The Suzuki rider – a man in his 20s from Blackburn – was taken to hospital with head and leg injuries. He remains there in a critical but stable condition.

The driver of the car was not injured.

Nobody has been arrested.

DC Joseph Ghigi, of our Serious Collision Investigation Unit, said: “This collision has left a man with life-threatening injuries and my thoughts are with him at this time.

“Work is ongoing to establish the full circumstances of the collision and I would ask any witnesses or anybody with dashcam or CCTV footage which captured the incident to contact the police as soon as possible.”
