POLICE are appealing for information after a motorcyclist was seriously injured following a crash in Solihull.

The biker was taken to hospital with serious fractures.




The driver of the Polo remained at the scene and is assisting with the investigation.

“I believe the occupants of that car may hold key information that is relevant to our enquiry.

“I must emphasise that I consider those occupants to be witnesses in this case and I would urge them, and any other witnesses who haven’t spoken to us to come forward.

“You can help us get the much needed answers for everyone involved.”
