Police are appealing for witnesses after a cyclist sustained serious injuries following a road traffic collision in Lowestoft.

Police were called at just after 5.10pm yesterday afternoon, (7 September), to reports of a three-vehicle collision on the cycle/footpath known as ‘The Tramways’, between Barnard Way and Rotterdam Road.

A motorcycle collided with two bicycles, resulting in one of the cyclists – a woman in her 70s – being flown by air ambulance to the Norfolk and Norwich Hospital, having sustained serious injuries. Her condition is currently described as stable.
