Teenage cyclist fighting for his life after being thrown from bike in crash with Audi

A teenage cyclist is fighting for his life after being thrown from his bike following a crash in Bury.

The 18-year-old was involved in a collision with an oncoming Audi A5 in Hardman's Road, in Whitefield, late on Tuesday evening.

Police were called to the scene at about 10.20pm.

The young cyclist was rushed to hospital with 'multiple serious injuries'.

Officers have described his condition as critical.

The driver of the Audi stopped at the scene.

No arrests have been made, a Greater Manchester Police spokesperson said.

The force has now issued an appeal for information about the incident, which happened on the street which links Bury New Road and Bury Old Road close to junction 17 of the M60.

PC Jonathan McColl, of GMP's Serious Collision Investigation Unit, said: "This collision has left a young man with multiple serious injuries. Our thoughts are with him and his loved ones as he receives treatment in hospital.

"Overnight, we carried out extensive enquiries at the scene but, as ever, I would appeal to anyone with information or dash cam footage which may assist us with our investigation to get in touch with us or Crimestoppers."

Anyone with information should contact police on 0161 856 4741 quoting 3901 of 01/09/20 or the independent charity - Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555 111.
