Witness appeal after M3 crash near Basingstoke

Police are continuing to appeal for information following a serious collision on the M3 and want to identify a motorbike rider who stopped at the scene.

Police were called at 10.22pm on Friday 4 October to a report that a silver Honda Civic had left the northbound carriageway between junctions 5 and 6 and collided with a tree.

The driver, a 30-year-old man, sustained serious injuries and was taken to hospital for treatment where he remains at this time.

Police believe the rider of a blue motorcycle stopped at the scene of the incident but left the scene without leaving their details. They're appealing directly to this person to come forward and speak to them as they may witnessed the collision or have information that could help with the investigation.

They'd also like to hear from anyone who was on Huish Lane, which runs over the M3 at Old Basing.
