Bedfordshire Police are appealing for witnesses after a man in his 20s was left with life-changing injuries after a road traffic incident.

At approximately 8.05pm on Sunday (September 5), police were called to an incident in Goldington Road, close to Chapel Close, where a motorcycle and a pedestrian were involved in a collision on a pedestrian crossing.

The motorcycle is described as a black Honda.
