The motorcyclist, who had a passenger on the back of the bike, had lost control, sending both of them flying across the road.

Both the driver and passenger sustained injuries, and the driver also tested positive for cannabis.

The driver was subsequently arrested, and a blood sample was obtained for a toxicology report.
