A motorcyclist is in a serious condition in hospital after a crash in Barrhead.

The rider was thrown from his Mini Moto Superbyke after colliding with a Ford Fiesta in the town on Tuesday night.

Police Scotland are appealing for anyone who witnessed the accident at around 10pm to come forward.

It's understood the red Fiesta was travelling south on Springhill Road with the intention of turning right into Park Avenue.

Police believe it stopped due to an oncoming vehicle from the north and, once the car had passed, the driver of the Fiesta began turning into Park Avenue.

At that time, a silver and black Mini Moto Superbyke was travelling north on Springhill Road when a collision occurred between the two vehicles.

The driver of the Superbyke was taken by ambulance to the Royal Alexandra Hospital to receive treatment for serious injuries.

The biker remains in hospital in a serious condition while the driver of the Ford Fiesta was uninjured.

Sergeant Kenneth Canavan from the Greater Glasgow Divisional Road Policing Unit is appealing for any witnesses to get in touch.

He said: "We would appeal specifically to any drivers travelling north on Springhill Road who may have seen the vehicles to contact us.

"Anyone with information should contact the Greater Glasgow Divisional Road Policing Unit via the 101 number."
