Moped rider injured after crash with car at Holderness Road junction

A moped rider has been injured, following a crash at a Holderness Road junction this morning.

The moped, which was also carrying a passenger, was reported to have been travelling down the east Hull road when it was in collision with a car turning into Sherburn Street. Emergency services were called to the side street at 11.43am and two ambulances were spotted at the scene.

Witnesses reported the moped being significantly damaged and a motorcycle helmet was seen rolling down the street. A man in the area reported that a young man was stretchered away after the incident.

The crash caused significant traffic delays in the area, as Sherburn Street and Holderness Road were blocked off. Another crash on Hedon Road around a similar time also affected traffic.

A spokesperson for Yorkshire Ambulance Service said: “We received an emergency call at 11.43am on Friday morning to report a collision on Holderness Road, Hull. Two ambulances and a rapid response vehicle were dispatched to the scene and two patients were conveyed to Hull Royal Infirmary.”

A spokesperson for Humberside Police said: “Officers were called to attend Sherburn Street in Hull following reports of a road traffic collision today (Friday 18 August). At around 11.45am it is believed that a car and a moped carrying a passenger were involved in the collision.

“The rider of the moped was taken to hospital to receive medical treatment for their injuries. We would appeal to anyone who was in the area around the time of the collision, or anyone who has CCTV or dashcam footage that may assist with our enquires to please contact us on our non-emergency number 101 quoting log 211 of 18 August.”
