Motorcycle Insurance

Two motorcyclists from Lancashire were involved in accidents this weekend during what was a busy period on the region's roads.

Ian Campbell Morris from Wigan, who is described as an experienced motorcyclist, was killed after coming off his bike at a roundabout in Leyland on Saturday.

Police believe the 35-year-old lost control of his Honda CBR 900cc and hit either a lamppost or road sign. They are now appealing for witnesses.

Just over an hour later, Tanya Blair suffered serious head injuries in Carnforth after falling from her 125cc bike and hitting a tree. As with Mr Campbell Morris' accident, no other vehicles are thought to have been involved.

The 20-year-old was taken to the Royal Lancaster Infirmary where she is said to be in a serious but stable condition.

The incidents highlight the importance of having comprehensive bike insurance cover in place, even for the most experienced of riders.
