A CRASH is causing long tailbacks on the Spur Road this morning.

A motorcyclist is believed to have crashed on the A338 severely damaging his bike.

He is not believed to be injured and the emergency services have not been called to the scene.

But, despite the bike not blocking the southbound carriageway, motorists are slowing down to look on.

Traffic is slow as a result with long tailbacks reported at Ashley Heath.

The bike is currently stationed between Ashley Heath and the Quarry.
