Road closed after incident on A57 on Friday night
Emergency services were sent to the scene after the collision, which happened at around 7.30pm on Friday evening (July 25).
Derbyshire Constabulary confirmed they were sent to the incident last night on the A57.
A spokesman for the force said the collision had been between a motorbike and a car, not far after Ladybower on the Sheffield stretch of the road.
He added: “It involved a motorbike and a blue Seat Ibiza.
“The motorbike rider was treated at the scene for injuries that were not life-threatening or changing.
“There was oil and fuel in the road so it was closed while that was dealt with.”
It is the latest collision involving a motorbike in recent weeks on the A57, with one crash resulting in the tragic death of a rider last month.
On July 7, the Snake Pass was closed after another collision involving a motorbike and a car. That happened around a mile past the Snake Inn, towards Glossop. Police described the rider’s injuries as serious but not life threatening. The rider was taken to hospital after the crash.
And last month, a man died when his motorbike crashed on the Snake Pass close to the A6013 turn off for Bamford on Saturday June 20.
