Police are seeking witnesses to a collision between a van and a motorcycle in Hove which left the biker with two broken arms.

Portland Road crossing

Both vehicles were travelling east.

The 65-year old man on the Vespa broke both arms and was taken to the Royal Sussex County Hospital in Brighton for treatment.

PC Gavin Spencer said; “There are indications are that a cyclist may have ridden onto the crossing just before to the collision. We would like to trace this cyclist, and anyone else who saw what happened.
