SERIOUS ROAD CRASH – MOFFAT
Police Scotland Officers are continuing enquiries and appealing for witnesses after a 35 year-old man lost control of his motorcycle and collided with a BMW motor vehicle on Sunday 21 September 2014 on the A708, Moffat.
Around 1410 hours on Sunday afternoon, the 35 year-old male rider of a Triumph motorcycle sustained serious leg injuries when he lost control of his bike which then collided with a BMW motor vehicle. The injured male was taken by ambulance to the Edinburgh Royal Infirmary, where the male remains in a stable condition. No one else was injured in the incident; however, the incident did lead to a significant tail back on the A708 at Selkirk road approximately 2 miles north of Craigieburn Nursery. The tailback cleared shortly thereafter.
Inspector Neil Hewitson of the Road Policing Department at Dumfries and Galloway Division is appealing for any witnesses to the crash on the A708 to contact the Road Policing Department via the 101 number.
