Lincolnshire Police Report A158 Crash Injures Motorcyclist in Skegness
A motorcyclist was taken to hospital with serious injuries after a two-vehicle collision on the A158 near Southview Leisure Park in skegness on Tuesday, April 21. Lincolnshire Police said officers were called at 6:59pm after the crash involving a Ford C-Max and an AJS Motorcycle.
The road was closed in both directions on the A158 from Southview Leisure Park on Burgh Road, and motorists were told to avoid the area. Police later said the closure lasted for some time before the road reopened.
Lincolnshire Police call at 6:59pm
Lincolnshire Police said, "We received a call at 6:59pm yesterday and were alerted to a report of a two-vehicle collision involving a Ford C-Max and a AJS Motorcycle." That call came shortly before 7pm on Tuesday, April 21, placing the crash at the center of an evening closure on one of the routes serving the Skegness area.
The police account gives the clearest sequence for anyone travelling near Burgh Road that evening: a collision, an immediate road closure, and a hospital transfer for the rider. The closure affected both directions on the A158, which meant traffic approaching Southview Leisure Park could not pass through while officers dealt with the scene.
A158 closure near Southview Leisure Park
Lincolnshire Police said, "The collision occurred on the A158 from the Southview Leisure Park on Burgh Road in Skegness, and the road was closed in both directions." The location matters for drivers because the closure sat close to a holiday park and on a road used by local and visitor traffic moving through the area.
Police also said, "The motorcyclist was taken to hospital with serious injuries." That is the main injury update in the case, and it leaves the collision centered on the rider rather than the occupants of the Ford C-Max.
Road reopened after closure
The A158 remained shut for some time before reopening later. For drivers and visitors using the route, the practical effect was temporary access loss around Southview Leisure Park, followed by a return to normal traffic flow once the road cleared.
The key next step is the police collision investigation tied to the evening call at 6:59pm. Anyone who was in the area around the time of the crash has the most direct information that could help clarify how the two-vehicle collision unfolded.
