POLICE are appealing for witnesses to a collision which left a 20-year-old motorcyclist in hospital with serious head injuries.
At around 8.20pm on August 20, a Vauxhall Zafira was driving along Barton Road, Stretford, before turning right on to Addison Road.
As the vehicle turned on to Addison Road, it collided with a motorcycle travelling in the opposite direction.
The driver of the motorcycle suffered serious head injuries and was taken to Salford Royal Hospital, where he remains in a critical condition.
The driver of the Zafira was uninjured.
Constable Paul Shore said: “This terrible incident has left a young man in the hospital fighting for his life.
“We are keen for anyone who may have witnessed this collision to contact police as a matter of urgency, as it is vital we get a full account of what happened.”
Anyone with information is asked to call the serious collision investigation unit on 0161 856 4742 or the independent charity Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555 111.
