On Wednesday 21st June 2023, at approximately 14:20, there was a serious road traffic collision in Bradford, between a stolen Kawasaki Motorcycle, which the Defendant was driving and a Hyundai motor vehicle.
The Defendant was riding the motorcycle with a pillion passenger on the motorcycle. Neither the Defendant nor the passenger were wearing crash helmets at the time. The motorcycle undertook a vehicle at high speed, before swerving into the main carriageway through a speed camera, at 72.3mph on a 30mph road. The motorcycle continued travelling along this road, but the Hyundai began to execute a U-Turn manoeuvre. The Defendant was travelling too fast to react to the Hyundai and there was a high speed collision.
The Defendant and his passenger were thrown from the motorcycle. The passenger hitting the windscreen of a parked motor vehicle first and then landing on the grassed area.
The Defendant and passenger sustained serious injuries in the collision. They were both taken to Leeds General Infirmary.
