A teenage cyclist is in a critical condition in hospital after a smash with a car in Hamilton last night.

The 17-year-old's black mountain bike and a green Fiat 500 crashed at around 10.40pm on Saturday, on Motherwell Road, near Palace Grounds Road.

The driver of the car stopped and emergency services were called.

A male cyclist was taken the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital in Glasgow following the smash.

Sergeant Craig McDonald, of Road Policing, said: "We're appealing to anyone who might've witnessed this incident or noticed the cyclist or green Fiat 500 shortly before the incident happened.

"I'd also ask drivers who were in that area around 10.40pm on Saturday to check their dashcam footage."
