A man riding an electronic bike who was left with life-changing injuries after being involved in a collision with a car has been summonsed to appear in court at the end of this month.
Police were called to the B1062 near the Maisebrook Farm Shop, on the Beccles to Bungay road, at 7pm on October 9, 2023.
A male driver of a grey Seat, in his 20s, was involved in a collision with a man in his 30s on an electric bike.
An air ambulance was called to the scene, and the rider of the electric bike was taken to Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital for treatment.
Police closed the road until the early hours of the morning and the electric bike rider suffered life-changing injuries.

THE B1062
It is a 50mph road about five miles long which connects Beccles and Bungay via Shipmeadow and Barsham, and is a well-known hotspot for accidents.
It has claimed the lives of many road users and a pedestrian who was hit was the most recent fatality.
On New Year's Eve 2022, there were three crashes on a flooded stretch of the road after cars aquaplaned - with one car even flying into a woman's home.
