Man fighting for life in hospital after motorbike smashes into wall on Scots road

A man has been left fighting for his life in hospital after a motorbike crashed into a wall on a Scots road.

Emergency services raced to the incident near Selkirk around 4pm on Saturday June 26 when a red Moto Guzzi motorbike with a black side car collided with a wall on the A707, near the Old Toll Bridge.

A 54-year-old man has been taken Edinburgh Royal Infirmary for treatment of life threatening injuries.

The road was closed for around five hours to allow a full collision investigation to take place.

“I would ask if you were driving in the area at the time and have any information that could help with our enquiries that you come forward and speak to officers.

“If there are any motorists with possible dashcam footage that could assist with our investigation, please get in touch with police.”

Police can be contacted by calling 101 and quoting incident number 2301 of Saturday, 26 June, 2021.
