Police are appealing for witnesses after a man in his 20s was seriously injured in a motorcycle crash in Longstanton. 

The 20-year-old man was riding a grey Piaggio Vespa northbound along Home Farm Road and going around a bend when he left the road at about 5.20pm yesterday (8 May).

Police and paramedics attended the scene and the man was taken to Addenbrooke’s Hospital, in Cambridge, with serious injuries.

No other vehicles were involved.

Sergeant Mark Atkins, from the Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire and Hertfordshire Road Policing Unit, said: “I would like to hear from anyone who saw the motorcyclist prior to the collision and am particularly keen to hear from anyone who may have dashcam footage to assist in helping piece together what has happened.”

Anyone with information should contact police via their web chat service or online forms, quoting incident 359 of 8 May. Anyone without internet access should call 101.

Always dial 999 in an emergency.
