THE condition of a motorcyclist who was seriously injured after his motorbike collided with a car in Radcliffe has improved.

The 29-year-old from Bury suffered serious head and leg injuries after his Yamaha FZR collided with a Fiat Punto in Bolton Road on Tuesday night.

He was taken to Bury's Fairfield Hospital and later transferred to the Royal Preston Hospital where his condition is described as "poorly but comfortable and in a stable condition".
