A MOTOR CYCLIST suffered two broken wrists and a broken knee after colliding with a trailer which came loose in Warwick, say police.

Warwickshire Police are appealing for witness to the accident which happened at noon on Monday in Myton Road near a humpback canal bridge.

A grey Toyota Hilux pick-up towing a trailer was travelling towards Warwick town.

Police say that, as it crossed the bridge, the trailer broke away from the van and crossed into the path of a black Honda CBR motorcycle travelling in the opposite direction.

The 34-year rider, from Stourport in Worcestershire, suffered a broken knee and two broken wrists plus cuts and bruises. He was treated at Warwick Hospital.

The 31-year-old man driving the pick-up van, from Warwick, was not injured.

Anyone with information is asked to call PC Pat Kearney on 01926 415000.
