A motorcyclist was hospitalised after a crash with a van in Swindon.

Emergency services were called to the collision between a Ford Transit van and Honda Deauville motorbike on Cricklade Road around 2:30pm on Thursday, October 10.

The biker was taken to hospital but did not sustain serious life-changing injuries.

While emergency services were dealing with the incident, part of the road was blocked and drivers in the area faced some delays, but it reopened fully around 3:30pm.

Officers investigating the incident have not confirmed whether any further action will be taken against either the biker or driver.

A Wiltshire Police spokesperson said: “We were called to reports of a crash involving a motorcycle and a van on Cricklade Road shortly after 2pm yesterday (10/10).
