A motorcyclist suffered two broken legs and damaged teeth as a result of a road accident which took place near Diss.

The man in his early 20s, who is from the Ipswich area, was travelling along the B1077 towards Diss yesterday on a black and red Suzuki motorbike.

At about 5.40pm, the rider was involved in a collision with a silver Honda Civic – which was heading in the opposite direction – near the junction with Lodge Lane in Shelfanger.

Officers from Wymondham Road Policing are appealing for witnesses to the collision to come forward.

In particular they would like to hear from anyone who saw the motorbike travelling between Winfarthing and Shelfanger and from the drivers of two vehicles heading towards Shelfanger who overtook the Honda Civic just prior to the accident.

Those with information should contact PC Gary Prescott on 101.
