Motorcyclist airlifted to hospital after Shropshire crash
A motorcyclist was airlifted to hospital with head injuries after crashing into a road sign in Shropshire.
The rider, a man in his 20s, came off his bike at about 3.15pm yesterday on the B4368 between Morville and Craven Arms, near to the turning for Weston.
Jamie Arrowsmith, spokesman for West Midlands Ambulance Service, said: "Crews arrived to find a man who had reportedly fallen from his motorbike before colliding with a road sign.
"An off duty nurse was already on scene and supported ambulance staff throughout. The man, believed to be in his 20s, was treated by ambulance staff for a serious head injury and a suspected fractured jaw.
He was anaesthetised and immobilised with the use of a pelvic splint. He was then airlifted to Queen Elizabeth Hospital Birmingham."
