A TEENAGE boy is in hospital in a serious condition with potentially life-changing injuries following a collision in Brierley.

The boy was travelling along Common Road on a white Moto Race scooter at about 1.45pm on Wednesday when he is said to have swerved to avoid another vehicle, described as a red 4x4, travelling in the opposite direction.

The scooter then hit the kerb before colliding with a parked car, causing minor damage to it. The collision happened close to the junction of Norwood Drive.

The boy, 17, was taken to hospital where he remains in a serious but stable condition.
