Motorcyclist injured in crash

The incident happened on the A6 between Buxton and Ashford in the Water.

A motorcyclist is understood to have sustained a broken leg after crashing into a railway bridge on a main Derbyshire road. 

It happened at around 4.30pm on Sunday afternoon (10 April) off the Buxton - Ashwood Dale stretch of the A6. 

A Derbyshire Police spokesperson said the force was called just before 4.50pm to a report that a motorcyclist had collided with a wall. 

The bike subsequently set on fire and the motorcyclist was dragged away from the bike by people who stopped their vehicles to help. 

The motorcyclist was taken to hospital for treatment.
