A motorbike accident in Scarborough is the fourth in a number of incidents involving bikers on the same stretch of road.
The latest accident involved two motorbikes and a car. Both bikes were on fire by the time the emergency services, including the North Yorkshire Fire Service, arrived at the scene. All parties were taken to Scarborough Hospital.
Both the motorbike riders; a 49 and 48 year old from Hartlepool and Middlesborough, respectfully, are reported to have sustained non-life threatening injuries but damaged ribs and some burns were reported.
The driver of the car, a Citroen Saxo was a 29 year old from Middlesborough who is not believed to have been injured. The accident is now being investigated.

Motorbike Accidents
Motorbike accidents occur for a number of different reasons. Sometimes it is the fault of another road user, it can be the fault of another motorcyclist or it could be a defective road not adequately maintained by the local authority.
If you have been involved in an accident then it could be that you have sustained a serious injury. Often, bikers are the ones who sustain the most serious of injuries, such as paralysis, spinal damage or serious brain injuries.
