A moped rider has been left with serious injuries after a road traffic collision with a car.

The Yamaha YBR125 moped and a black Audi A3 collided on the A4 Bath Road on Friday, July 28.

The crash happened at traffic lights on the A4 at the junction with Burghfield Road, at around 8.25pm.

The rider of the moped, a man in his twenties, sustained injuries to his ankle and foot and is currently in hospital receiving treatment.

A 32-year-old man from Reading was arrested on suspicion of causing serious injury by dangerous driving.

He has since been released under investigation.
