Police searching for horse rider after road accident

A MOTORCYCLIST came off worse following a collision with a horse in Seer Green.

Police are currently trying to trace the rider of a horse who was involved in an accident with a motorbike in Bottom Lane on Tuesday, July 14 at around 5.45pm.

The animal emerged from a bridleway in front of the vehicle and was then hit, but when the man fell off the bike following the incident, the rider, who was female, failed to stop the horse and continued on her way.

The motorcyclist, who was riding an Aprilia 50cc bike, suffered slight cuts and bruises, but the vehicle itself was damaged in the incident.

He contacted police soon after the collision and was taken to hospital for a check up, but his injuries were not serious.

Police have since launched their appeal for information into the incident.

From descriptions given by the motorcyclist, they believe that the horse was brown and that the rider was around 20-years-old and was wearing a fluorescent jacket.

Anyone with any information should contact PC Andy Martin on 0845 8 505 505, or call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
