Explained simply
Off-road motorbikes are designed for use away from public roads, but they can also be ridden on streets. In a collision, riders have little protection compared with people inside a car, so the injuries can be severe.
Police investigate serious road collisions to establish how they happened, and may ask witnesses or people with camera footage to help. Finding and speaking to everyone involved, including drivers, can be part of that process.
