Biker still ‘serious’ after road accident
A BIKER was seriously injured in a road accident near Larkhall on Monday.
Alan Mullen was riding a Kawasaki motorbike southwards along the A71 Ayr Road around 9.30am when it appeared that it went out of control and collided with a lorry.
The incident occurred at the junction with Swinhill Road where the lorry driver, travelling north, tried to make a right turn into Swinhill Road.
Mr Mullen, of Lammermuir Way, Chapelhall, was taken to Wishaw General Hospital.
It is understood the 39-year-old was suffering from injuries to his leg and pelvis.
The 23-year-old driver of the Polish-registered lorry was uninjured.
A hospital spokesman this week described Mr Mullen’s condition as serious but stable.
Constable David Bulloch of Motherwell Road Policing Department urged witnesses to the accident to get in touch with him.
He said: “I would appeal to anyone with information that may assist police enquiries who has not yet come forward, to contact my office on 01698 483124.”
