A TEENAGE biker is fighting for life in hospital after a crash outside a Poole pub yesterday.

The rider, an 18-year-old man from Poole, was in a collision with a back BMW car outside the recently-opened Blackwater Stream pub, Broadstone.

Paramedics gave on-the-spot treatment before he was rushed to Poole Hospital for treatment to serious head injuries. His family have been notified.

Police sealed off the crash site, at the junction of Lower Blandford Road and the Ridgeway, shortly after the 2.20am smash. Road closures remained in place until after 7am.

A police spokesman said: “Any witnesses to the collision and anyone who saw the driving of either vehicle prior to the collision is urged to call police.”
