A motorcyclist was today fighting for his life after a serious crash at an accident blackspot in west London.

The 47-year-old man was rushed to hospital following the smash in Lime Grove, Ruislip yesterday afternoon.

A white Lexus is reported to have hit the biker at the junction with Elm Avenue shortly after 4pm.

He was treated by medics from London Ambulance Service and London’s Air Ambulance for life-threatening injuries.

Metropolitan Police officers were also called to the scene.

A police spokesman said: “A 47-year-old man was taken to hospital for treatment to injuries which are described as life threatening. Next of kin have been informed.

“The car stopped at the scene.”

No arrests have been made and police are investigating.

Horrified residents took to social media to discuss the crash close to the scene of a fatal smash which killed teenager Jack King six years ago.

Jackie-Lynn Bowden wrote on Facebook: “Something needs doing about that road.. How many more accidents.”

Kate Smith added: “It's a very bad junction hate even walking the dogs by it.”

Witnesses are asked to call the Serious Collision Investigation Unit on 020 8991 9555.
