A 19-YEAR-OLD man is due to appear in court after a moped rider suffered serious injuries in a crash.

The moped rider, in his 20s, suffered serious injuries when he collided with a silver Renault Megane Scenic in Poole on Thursday June 14.

The accident took place at the junction of Wimborne Road and Dorchester Road in Poole and the rider was taken to Poole Hospital for treatment. He has since been discharged from hospital.

A man from Kingsbridge in Devon has been issued with a postal requisition to appear at Weymouth Magistrates’ Court tomorrow for an offence of driving without due care and attention.
