'The motorcyclist went to hospital but nothing thought to be serious and the road was clear at 3.10pm.'

'We got a call at 1.09pm that a motorbike and van had been in collision. A rapid response vehicle and ambulance were dispatched.

'The patient, aged in his 50s, was not seriously injured, but did require treatment after being assessed for left shoulder and next pain. He was taken to James Paget University Hospital for further care.'
