Road policing officers are appealing for information after a serious crash on the A7, approximately six miles south of Hawick on Sunday, 9 March, 2025.

Around 4.30pm, a 28-year-old man was riding his Yahama R6 bike southbound with two other motorcyclists, when it appears that the bike has lost control at Teindside Bridge.

Emergency services attended and he was taken to the Royal Victoria Infirmary in Newcastle where hospital staff describe his condition as critical.
