A teen has been left fighting for his life after an e-bike crash in a village north of Yate.
Around 7.10am on Monday, June 9, an e-bike rider crashed on the B4060 Station Road, near the George Osmond Archfield Nurseries garden centre and the railway overbridge, in the village of Wickwar, Gloucestershire.
The rider, a man in his late teens, was found by members of the public and was given first aid before emergency services arrived at the scene of the collision.
The victim suffered serious, life-threatening injuries and, at the time of reporting, remains in hospital.
His family are aware.
It is not known if any other vehicles were involved in the crash.
