A MOPED rider was left with a serious leg injury after crashing in Wallisdown Road.

The 21-year-old rider of a black and white Firefox was injured at 8.37am and he was taken to Poole hospital with what a South Western Ambulance Service spokesman said were leg and head injuries.

Dorset Police are investigating the circumstances of how the man came off his moped and are appealing for witnesses to call them on 101.
