A motorcyclist was in critical condition after his bike crashed on Monday night.

The 47-year-old man was found “in and out of consciousness” after the single- vehicle accident on Store Hill, Smith’s, on Monday at about 8.55pm.

A police spokesman said the man was in the intensive care unit at the King Edward VII Memorial Hospital.

The road was closed for more than two hours as police examined the scene.

Police have appealed for witnesses.
