A MOTORCYCLIST remains in intensive care today following another collision on the A18 – less than two weeks after the notorious road was closed for safety improvements.
Lincolnshire Police are appealing for witnesses to the collision, at the junction with Barton Street, half-a-mile west of Ludborough at 5.15pm on Friday.
It involved a silver Honda Fireblade motorbike and a silver Mitsubishi car.
The road was closed for almost seven hours.
The motorcyclist, a 52-year-old man from Driffield, was airlifted to Hull Royal Infirmary with leg and abdominal injuries.
The car driver, a 27-year-old man from Winterton, was treated for minor injuries at the Diana, Princess of Wales Hospital, Grimsby, and released.
It comes two weeks after a couple were left with life-threatening injuries when their car skidded across the A18 and into a ditch.
A week before that, a nine-year-old girl ended up in a critical condition following a head-on collision on the stretch of road near Ashby-cum-Fenby.
In April, five members of the Cockburn family were killed after a crash on the same road.
The A18 was closed for three days earlier this month for safety improvements to be carried out following the spate of serious accidents on the road which featured in a BBC documentary, Britain's Killer Roads, in 2011.
PC Richard Precious is investigating the most recent collision and asks witnesses to contact him on 101, quoting incident 395 of July 26.
