Appeal for witnesses after serious RTC in Walton

Officers from our Roads Policing Unit are appealing for witnesses following a serious RTC in Walton on Friday 9 July.

Shortly after 10.50pm, it was reported that a BMW taxi had collided with a blue Lexmoto Isca motorbike, which then hit a third vehicle at the junction of Walton Road and Bradewell Street.

The motorbike rider, a man in his 20s, was taken to hospital by ambulance and treated for a broken thigh bone and ankle. His injuries are described as serious but not life-threatening.

The driver of the BMW stopped at the scene and is assisting police with enquiries.

Witness and CCTV enquiries are ongoing.

Inspector Stuart McIver said: "A young man has been left seriously injured after this collision, and we are keen to speak to anyone who saw what happened.

"Police would like to speak to any drivers in the area who may have dashcam footage of the blue motorbike, which travelled out of the city and along Walton Road at around 10.50pm. Any footage or information could be vital in establishing what happened."
