Motorcyclist seriously injured in A127 crash near Rayleigh Weir

A collision happened at around 8am this morning between a man riding a motorcycle and two other vehicles.

A spokesperson for Essex Police said: “We were called to a collision on the London-bound A127, close to Progress Road, involving two cars and a motorcycle shortly after 8am this morning, Wednesday, February 7.

“A man was taken to hospital with injuries which are serious but, at this stage, are described as not life-threatening or life-changing.
