A motorcyclist is fighting for his life following a crash on the Coast Road in the early hours of Sunday morning.

The rider, a 42-year-old Italian man who lives in St Paul's Bay, was involved in a 5.40am collision with a Toyota Hiace van driven by a 51-year-old St Paul’s Bay resident.

He was riding a Honda SH150AD motorcycle. 

A medical team rushed the victim to Mater Dei Hospital in an ambulance. Medical professionals have certified his injuries as being serious in nature.
