On Friday 30 May, at 5.31am we were called to Pogmoor Road following reports of a collision involving a motorcycle.

It is believed the rider of the motorcycle, a 17-year-old boy left the carriageway and collided with a wall. No other vehicles were involved and no other injuries were reported.

He was taken to hospital with life-threatening injuries, where he remains.

His family has been informed and is being supported by specialist officers.

As our investigation progresses into the circumstances, we are now asking for any witnesses to the collision or anyone who may have relevant dashcam footage of the incident to come forward.
