A motorcyclist is fighting for his life in hospital after a horror crash on a busy north London road.
The male rider’s injuries have been described as life-threatening after he collided with a car near Holloway Road Tube station shortly before 1pm on Saturday.
Dramatic pictures taken from the roadside show clothes strewn across the carriageway and a mangled motorbike as witnesses told of “horrible” scenes.
Emergency services including police, ambulance and London's Air Ambulance were scrambled to the crash site.
The car stopped at the scene and no arrests have been made.
A Met spokeswoman said: “Police were called by the London Ambulance Service on Saturday shortly before 12:45pm hours to a report of a collision between a car and motorcycle at Holloway Road.
“Officers attended and found the motorcyclist, a male injured at the location.
“He has been taken to an east London hospital and his injuries are being treated as life threatening.
“Officers remain on scene and there are currently road closures in place.”
A London Ambulance Service spokesman said the man was treated for a head injury and taken to hospital by land.
Transport for London said the road had been shut both ways between the A103 Hornsey Road and Loraine Road.
