Aman involved in a crash involving a quad bike is in a critical condition. Emergency services were called to a crash between a Yamaha quad bike and white BMW along Dogsthorpe Road in Peterborough just before 8pm on Monday (April 27).

The quad bike passenger, a 22-year-old man, suffered serious injuries. He remains in a critical condition at Addenbrooke’s Hospital in Cambridge.

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

The driver of the BMW was uninjured. Sergeant David McIlwhan, from Cambridgeshire Police’s 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.”

The East of England Ambulance Service also attended the scene. An ambulance spokesperson said: “One ambulance, a rapid response vehicle, a paramedic car and the MAGPAS Air Ambulance were sent to Dogsthorpe Road Peterborough yesterday evening following reports of quad-bike rider injured in road traffic collision.

“One patient with serious injuries was transported by road ambulance to Addenbrooke’s Hospital.”
