Bath collision: police seek witnesses after van and motorcycle crash

About The Author

Police are seeking witnesses and footage after a van and a motorcycle collided on Lower Bristol Road in Bath, leaving the motorcyclist with leg injuries.

Avon and Somerset Police said the collision happened near the junction with River Place at about 7.15am on Thursday 22 October 2026. The vehicles were a white Ford Transit van and a black Keeway Superlight motorcycle.

Appeal for witnesses and recordings

In its appeal on 2 November (police appeal), the force said the motorcyclist remained in hospital for treatment. That was the position in the police statement and is not a later update on the rider’s condition.

Police want to hear from anyone who saw the collision or who has dashcam or CCTV footage of it. The appeal does not say how the collision happened or who, if anyone, was at fault.

Anyone with information can use the force’s online appeals form or call 101, quoting reference 5226345058. If you travelled through the junction around 7.15am, check whether your camera kept footage and contact the force using those details. If you have a recording, it is sensible to keep the original file and not edit it.
