A BIKER suffered serious head injuries in a crash on a busy road.

The 24-year-old from Brighouse was riding a blue Yamaha bike that was in collision with a silver Nissan Navara on Halifax Road, Hipperholme, shortly before midday yesterday. He was rushed to hospital, where his condition was serious but not life-threatening. No-one else was seriously hurt. Police closed the road in both directions to deal with the incident. It reopened yesterday afternoon.
