A motor-cyclist broke both legs and an arm in a horror smash in Mossley.

He collided with a Chrysler Voyager, a people carrier, in Manchester Road at 3.15pm on Sunday (31 May).

Fire-fighters administered first aid, giving oxygen therapy and using a neck collar, before the 26-year-old was taken by ambulance to Tameside Hospital. They said he was in a great deal of pain but did not believe his injuries to be life-threatening. No one else was injured.

The road was temporarily closed while police carried out tests to help calculate what happened .
