Two people are fighting for their lives in hospital after a "serious" crash on a busy road just outside London this morning. The A308 Staines Bypass was shut in both directions following the incident that police say involved two individuals riding a motorcycle.
Surrey Police are now appealing for witnesses after being called to the area shortly before 2am. Officers reported at 9.04am that the route was closed between the Crooked Billet roundabout and the Fordbridge roundabout in both directions. The force added that it was likely to remain shut for the next few hours however at around 11.30am the road reopened.
A spokesperson added: "Two people have been taken to hospital for treatment to life-threatening injuries and remain in a stable condition. We are appealing for anyone who witnessed the collision, or with any information, including dashcam and helmet cam footage, to contact us straight away."
