Scooter rider suffers serious injuries after a blowout on the A64

This scooter suffered a blowout on the busy A64 at Bilbrough Top near York yesterday afternoon (Tuesday).

The rider was thrown onto the carriageway and was taken to hospital to be treated for serious but not life-threatening injuries.

The incident caused long tailbacks while police worked at the scene and for the rider there is another issue that will need dealing with.

Police discovered that the vehicle was not insured or taxed and didn’t have an MOT. So when the rider has recovered he will be interviewed by officers.

His scooter has been taken away by the police too.
