Teen fighting for life after crash between motorbike and Ford Fiesta in Bristol

A 19-year-old man is fighting for his life in hospital after a crash in Henbury.

Police are appealing for witnesses and dashcam footage after the collision between a green BMW R800 motorbike and an orange Ford Fiesta.

It happened at the junction of Hallen Road and Avonmouth Way just before 6.50pm on Friday (July 17).

There were two people riding the motorbike. One, the 19-year-old, is in hospital with life-threatening injuries.

The other, a 15-year-old boy, was released from hospital after treatment. No one else was hurt.

The road was closed until about 12.30am on Saturday while collision investigators examined the scene and the vehicles were recovered.

Hallen Road and nearby Henbury Road have seen a spate of crashes in recent years.

Bristol City Council announced this week it is "urgently" considering options to address "clear safety concerns" in the area, after Bristol Live revealed there have been at least 11 recent crashes there.

If you saw the collision on Friday, or have any other information which could help, get in touch through www.avonandsomerset.police.uk/contact or by calling 101, quoting reference 5220159025.
