A MOTORCYCLIST injured in a collision with a car on Brighton Road in Purley will need two operations after suffering serious injuries to his leg.
The man, believed to be Jason Mulcahy, 40, severely damaged his knee and ankle during the incident.
London Ambulance Service (LAS) were called to the scene, near the junction with Christchurch Road, at around 6pm yesterday evening (Thursday).
Shaista Khokhar, who was in the nearby Rotary Field when the crash occurred, told the Advertiser: "I heard a big bang and I came to see what had happened.
"The driver of the car was crying and the man on the bike was bleeding on his leg."
The motorcyclist was taken to St George's Hospital, in Tooting, after the incident as a "priority", an LAS spokesperson said.
