Police said this morning that at the last check he was receiving medical care at King Edward VII Memorial Hospital.

A police spokesman added that the crash happened as the truck driver turned on to Verdmont Road.

The truck driver, a 70-year-old Devonshire man, was not hurt.

The motorcycle involved was damaged, but the truck was not.

Traffic diversions were in place for about three hours while the scene was processed.
