A BIKER was seriously injured this afternoon after a road crash in Aberdeen.
The man was thrown around five feet in the air when he crashed with a car on a busy Aberdeen street.
Police and paramedics were scrambled to the scene as onlookers gathered and tried to help.
The crash happened on Aberdeen’s Market Street near its junction with Hadden Street at 2pm.
Witness Baz Maitland said the Yamaha bike was heading towards nearby Union Street when it was in a crash with a silver Volkswagen Polo.
The 42-year-old said: “He flew right up on to the bonnet and came down again. He flew about four or five feet in the air.
“I’m a biker myself, it’s not good to see a biker go down.â€
Mr Maitland, of Aberdeen’s Manor area, said a member of the public helped the biker until emergency services arrived.
The man, thought to be in his 30s, was lying in the middle of the road across from Wilson’s Bar.
The injured man was taken to Aberdeen Royal Infirmary.
