Sgt Joe Calvert, from the Road Policing Unit, said: “This collision has left a man with a number of significant injuries and my thoughts are with him and his loved ones at this time.
“Work is ongoing to establish the full circumstances which led to the collision. We know there were a number of people in the area attending the local music festival who potentially saw what happened or captured the incident on mobile phone footage.
