Motorcyclist and pillion rider seriously injured in Bitterne collision

We’re appealing for witnesses following a serious collision between a motorbike and a car in Bitterne.

The incident occurred at about 6.10pm on Thursday 27 February. A white Triumph motorbike, with a pillion passenger, travelled down Bullar Road towards the cross roads with Bitterne Road West, whilst a black Toyota Yaris travelled towards the city centre.

Both vehicles collided at the entry to Bitterne Road West. The motorcycle riders – a 22-year-old man and 17-year-old boy – both sustained serious and potentially life-changing injuries as a result of the collision.

The occupants of the Toyota were uninjured.

We are keen to hear from anyone who witnessed this incident, or anyone with Dash Cam footage.

Did you see this incident occur, or the events leading up to it? Do you have any footage – either Dash Cam, CCTV, or doorbell camera – showing the motorbike travelling down Bullar Road?
