A man is in a serious condition in hospital after a collision between a motorbike and a car in Louth.

Emergency services were called to the A16 at Louth at 10.51 on Saturday morning following reports that a silver Citroen car and a silver Triumph motorcycle had collided.

The incident happened just north of the A57 roundabout, close to the layby near Coxey Hills on the northbound carriageway.

The rider of the motorcycle received medical assistance at the scene before being taken to hospital for further treatment, where he remains in a serious condition. Police say his next of kin have been informed.

The driver and passenger in the car are not believed to have suffered any injuries.

Road closures were put in place yesterday to allow police to carry out enquiries.

Lincolnshire Police have appealed for any witnesses not yet spoken with to come forward. They say they are keen to view any dashcam footage of the collision or either vehicle prior to the incident.
