The motorcyclist, a 40-year-old man, was taken to Wexham Park hospital with serious injuries.
PC Nicholas Brown, who is investigating the collision, said: "I would like to hear from anyone that may have seen either vehicle prior to the collision or who witnessed the collision itself."

very simple - dont drive motorbikes - they are dangerous and when u have an accident there is no bodywork to protect you - hopefully now the motorcyclist will come to his senses

You can't just say not to ride them. My husband is a biker and after 2 accidents, I am terrified when he's out on the bike but it's a cheap, greener mode of transport and he adores it. People sadly die in car crashes every day, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't drive. X

"dont drive motorbikes - they are dangerous"?
Don't you mean that motorcyclists are more vulnerable road users? In this case a potentially avoidable collision meant the motorcyclist came off worse. I think many measures are required including regular compulsory re-testing, better hazard awareness training and stricter traffic enforcement.
