POLICE are appealing for witnesses after a motorcyclist suffered life-threatening injuries in a crash yesterday.
Now the 43-year-old man is being treated at Southampton General Hospital after the serious single vehicle collision happened at 5pm.
The location of the crash was in Firestone Copse Road, Wotton, on the Isle of Wight, and his next of kin have been informed.
A spokesperson from Hampshire police said: "Investigations into the exact circumstance of the incident are ongoing and officers are keen to speak to anyone who saw the blue motorbike travelling in the area earlier today or anyone who might have dash cam footage that could help.
"If you think you can help us please call us on 101, quoting 44200010768, or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111."
The road has since been reopened.
South Central Ambulance Service has been contacted for comment.
