A motorbike passenger is fighting for his life in hospital after a late-night horror crash.
Scott Lomax, 29, was taken to Blackpool Victoria Hospital after the black Yamaha R6 driven by Lee Michael O'Neill, 26, collided with the back of a parked Ford Fiesta in Southworth Avenue, Blackpool.

Lancashire Police said Mr Lomax suffered serious pelvic injuries, internal bleeding and serious wounding to his head.

The incident happened at around 10.55pm.

Mr O'Neill escaped unharmed.

Insp Graham Smith of Lancashire Police said: "For reasons which we are not sure at this moment the motorcycle has collided with the rear of a parked Ford Fiesta.

"As a result Mr Lomax has received serious pelvic injuries with associated internal bleeding and a serious laceration to his head."

The police are urging any witnesses to come forward by phoning 0845 1 25 35 45.

You can't collide with a parked car.

yes you can you clown. Don't people collide with lampposts? Just because the car is not moving doesn't mean idiots on a bike can't collide with it

Cantona - a collision occurs between two moving objects.

People don't collide with lampposts, unless the lampposts are going somewhere and also collide with them.

FYI Sally, the dictionary definition of collide is: "to strike one another or one against the other with a forceful impact".

Not quite sure what you mean but whatever it is, you're wrong! If I walked into a wall, surely I would have collided with it?

Anyway, rather than picking the story apart I think we should just hope that the biker makes a full recovery. Who's to say the guy was an idiot? There could be a number of explanations for the collision so lets wait for the police report until we jump to conclusions.

"To strike ONE ANOTHER" - precisely! Did the parked car strike the motorbike?

Sam - I have made no comment about the rider at all. Of course I wish him well.

But that does not mean that journalists who should KNOW how to use the English language can be excused. It's a matter of having some standards.

"...or ONE AGAINST THE OTHER" i.e. the other object is not moving. Come on Sally, it doesn't take a genius to work this one out.

p.s. I was referring to post 2 about the "idiot" comments.

As the world is rotating (with the lampost attached to it), and the bike moved towards it...does this qualify, Sally?

Just playing Devil's Advocate.

Hope the lad recovers. His mate was possibly showing off.
