A 22-year-old motorcyclist was seriously injured in a head-on crash with a van in Denton.
The man was riding his Kawasaki motorbike along Taylor Lane towards Seymour Street at 9.20pm last night when he was involved in a head-on collision with a small Nissan van, registration V78 ESR.
The van, which had been travelling in the opposite direction, had begun to turn left but veered into the other side of the road, resulting in the collision.
