A man is in critical condition in hospital after a crash between a car and a quadbike in Peterborough.

The collision happened in Dogsthorpe Road, at around 7.50pm on Monday (April 27) and involved a Yamaha quad bike and a white BMW.

A 22-year-old man, who was a passenger on the quadbike, suffered serious injuries and remains in Addenbrooke's Hospital.

The other rider, also a 22-year-old man, initially failed to stop at the scene but was later treated in Peterborough City Hospital for his injuries.

The driver of the BMW was uninjured.

Sgt David McIlwhan, from the road policing unit, said: "We are keen to hear from anyone who was in the area around the time of the collision.

"If you believe you may have dashcam footage of either vehicle in the lead up to the collision, please also get in touch with us as this may help us paint a better picture of what happened."

Anyone with information should report online and quote Op Penhale, or incident 505 of 27 April.
