Coming home from work tonight on the Kingdown Road in Swindon (near Kingsdown School) there was a Kawasaki I think a Black Z1000SX or something of very similar front fairing design at the side of the road with an ambulance and two police cars.

Looked like it had been rear ended (Sub frame was really stuck up in the air, passenger seat was I'd say 45 Deg angle almost) and looked in real bad way, the accident car (Assuming there was one) was no where near by despite a lot of headlight plastic in the road...


only back in July, 2012 a biker was killed on this road on his GSXR... not sure why as it seems a fairly safe road and is restricted to 30mph.


Hope the chap/chapess is ok!

It was a bike v's car accident, biker was a chap who needed treatment to leg injuries.
No other info, police are appealing for witnesses!

Yeah didn't look great!

Where did you hear that from? I looked on Swindon Advertiser but couldn't see it
