Child injured in bike crash

A six-year-old boy is seriously ill in hospital after being involved in a quad-bike crash at Watnall in Nottinghamshire.

He was with other children riding the machines on waste ground at a brick-yard on Long Lane.

The boy was taken to the Queens Medical Centre with serious head injuries.

He is now "very poorly but stable" after surgery.

Inspector Paul Selby said: "Two of them were in collision with each other.

"One bike was ridden by the six-year-old, one ridden by an adult.

"It would appear the injury was caused by something going through the front of the helmet."
