The single-vehicle collision took place close to midnight last night.

A MOTORCYCLIST HAS been seriously injured in a single-vehicle collision in Co Wexford.

Shortly before midnight last night, Gardaí and emergency services attended the scene of the crash on the R733 at Ballinteskin, near New Ross.

It’s understood the motorcyclist, a man his early 20s, sustained serious injuries when his motorcycle left the road and struck a ditch.

He was treated at the scene by emergency services personnel and removed by ambulance to University Hospital Waterford. His condition is understood to be serious, Gardaí said.

The road is currently closed and local diversions are in place. Garda forensic collision investigators will examine the crash site later this morning.
