The crash happened around 12.05pm on Saturday, 18 May, 2024 at the junction with A72 south of Blyth Bridge.

A red Aprilia motorbike, a grey BMW and a small car were involved.

The 56-year-old male motorcyclist was taken to The Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh for treatment.

Police Sergeant Dominic Doyle of the Road Policing Unit said: “We are continuing with our enquiries into the crash and would like to trace the driver of the small car, which was blue in colour.

“I would ask anyone who may have witnessed the crash or who may have dash-cam footage and has not yet spoken to or provided this information to officers, to contact us as soon as possible.

“The road re-opened at 8.10pm on Saturday, 18 May, 2023. I want to thank members of the public for their patience while we investigated this serious crash.”

Anyone with information should call Police Scotland on 101, quoting incident number 1783 of Saturday, 18 May, 2024.
