A man in his 70s has been taken to hospital with life-changing injuries after an e-bike and an e-scooter crashed.

The collision happened at about 11:00 BST on Friday on Sandford Road in Wareham, Dorset.

The rider of the e-scooter, a woman in her 20s, was taken to hospital with minor injuries. The man was the rider of the e-bike.

Dorset Police said emergency services attended the scene, with road closures put in place between the Sibley Pottery Roundabout and Wareham Roundabout.

Sgt David Cotterill, of the roads policing team, appealed for any witnesses, or anyone who may have dashcam footage, to come forward.

"I'd like to thank members of the public for their patience and understanding while road closures were put in place," he added.
