POLICE are appealing for information and witnesses following a serious road traffic collision in Stevenage this morning (Friday).

The incident occurred shortly before 7.45am when a motorcyclist, riding on an orange Kawasaki, was in collision with the roundabout on Lytton Way at the junction with Trinity Road.

The motorcyclist, a 23-year-old man from Stevenage, has been taken to the Lister Hospital with a head injury. At this time, he is said to be in a serious condition.

Several motorists stopped at the scene of the incident to help the motorcyclist and police are now trying to trace these people.

Sergeant Andy Nayler of the Roads Policing Unit said: "I am really keen to speak to people who came to the aid of the motorcyclist and waited with him until police and ambulance arrived.

"In particular, I would like to trace people from a removal truck who assisted at the scene of the incident.

"If anyone else saw the incident or knows anything about it, please come forward as well."

Anyone with information is asked to contact PC Bob Hauxwell of the Crash Investigation and Vehicle Examination Unit, citing URN 225 of 26/06/09 on 0845 33 00 222.
