A TEENAGER was taken to hospital with serious abdominal injuries following a collision near Credenhill.

It is believed that the 16-year-old was thrown from his moped after crashing into a kerb on the A480 at around 8.50pm last night.

At this time, police do not believe there was another vehicle involved.

Any witnesses - especially the occupants of a small red car which was in the area at the time and may have stopped to assist after the crash - can call police on 101.
