A motorcyclist was taken to hospital after being seriously injured in a South Bristol <\/a>crash.<\/p>\n The collision involved a silver Ford Fiesta and a black Harley-Davidson motorcycle on Hartcliffe<\/a> Way – a key route between Bedminster<\/a> and the A4174 ring road.<\/p>\n It happened at 4.30pm on Wednesday (December 10). The motorcyclist, a man in his 20s, was taken to hospital with serious injuries.<\/p>\n The driver of the car was not injured. Avon and Somerset police <\/a>has now launched an appeal for witnesses to help with its investigation.<\/p>\n A spokesperson for the force said: “As part of our investigation, we’re now urging anyone who witnessed the collision or who has any dashcam footage of it and the moments leading up to it to come forward.<\/p>\n “If you can help, call 101 using reference number 5225347062.”<\/p>\n Police did not state the exact location along Hartcliffe Way, which is more than a mile in length and varies in speed limit from 30mph in some areas to 40mph in others.<\/p>\n Traffic-monitoring site Inrix had reported on a crash that same afternoon<\/a> on Hartcliffe Way eastbound, at the roundabout with the A4174 Hengrove<\/a> Way.<\/p>\n This was reported slightly earlier, at about 4pm, and resulted in three lanes being closed. Motorists were advised to use alternative routes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Police are appealing for witnessesFile photo of an emergency ambulance responding to a call in Bristol(Image: PAUL GILLIS…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":628998,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8818],"tags":[381,748,393,548,4884,14344,9731,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-628997","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-bristol","8":"tag-bristol","9":"tag-britain","10":"tag-england","11":"tag-ford","12":"tag-great-britain","13":"tag-hartcliffe","14":"tag-traffic-travel","15":"tag-uk","16":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/115708807031384727","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/628997","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=628997"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/628997\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/628998"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=628997"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=628997"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=628997"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
