A teenage motorcyclist has been critically injured in a collision that also involved a van and a car.

Police were called to the A287 Farnham Road at the junction with Hillside, near Odiham, Hampshire, at 17:40 BST.

A 19-year-old man was taken to hospital with life-threatening injuries.

Police have appealed to trace the van driver, who left the scene before officers arrived.

Insp Andy Tester said: "It is possible he didn't realise how serious the collision was and didn't think we'd need his details.

"However, we do need to speak to him as a matter of urgency and are appealing to him to come forward."

Police have appealed for dashcam footage of the small, white van, as well as the motorcycle and the black Audi A3.
