A biker involved in a serious road traffic collision on the A350 near Lacock last month is recovering well in hospital.

The 31-year-old man from Warminster was airlifted to Frenchay Hospital in Bristol with severe back injuries after colliding with a car which had been coming out of the Lacock junction near Melksham on February 22.

The man, who was in a drug-induced coma to make sure he did not move and cause further damage to his spine, is now awake and out of the intensive care unit and recovering on a ward.

According to an officer with the road policing unit the biker is sitting in his chair but gets tired very easily.
