by Admin

Police are seeking witnesses after a motorbike rider was seriously injured following a police pursuit in the Kimberworth area on Saturday night (18 August).

Just before 11.25pm, a marked police car was travelling along Upper Wortley Road in the direction of Rotherham when a black Honda Motorbike pulled out of the Texaco Petrol Station and began to travel in front of the car.

The bike has then turned left on to Oaks Road before a short pursuit after the rider failed to stop for police.

As the bike travelled along Town Lane and approached the junction with Wingfield Road, the biker appears to have lost control and come off the bike. The 26-year-old man riding the bike was taken to hospital to be treated for serious injuries.

His condition is currently described as serious but stable.

South Yorkshire Police have referred to the Independent Office for Police Conduct.

Police want to hear from anyone who saw what happened or who saw the bike prior to the collision. If you can help call 101 quoting incident 1069 of 18 August 2018.
