Police say cyclists and motorcyclists are 'over-represented' within road collision statistics.
West Mercia Police has confirmed that 10 people died and 172 were seriously hurt in crashes involving motorcycles and push bikes on the county's roads between 2020 and 2022.It comes as officers spearhead a crackdown this week as part of a national operation to try and slash the numbers of collisions which could potentially have fatal consequences.
Superintendent Steph Brighton, of West Mercia Police, said: “Unfortunately cyclists and motorcyclists are over-represented within our road collision statistics and we want to ensure we are doing all we can with both education and enforcement to keep these two groups safer. "Supporting this national operation with local activities and increased enforcement is an important way of raising road safety issues amongst cyclists, motorcyclists and other road users."
