A man who stopped to help a woman who 'was knocked off her motorbike' in a crash on the A15 yesterday is disgusted at the behaviour of some motorists waiting in traffic.

The accident, which happened near the Lincolnshire Showground, blocked the road yesterday afternoon.

A 34-year-old man who was in his car with his two young children was one of the first on the scene of the crash, before police and an ambulance crew arrived.

The man, who wishes to remain anonymous, said: "I was driving in a car with my children behind the car that hit the motorbike both coming out of Hall Lane turning north on the A15. Once the accident happened I ran straight to the injured motorcyclist and shouted to ensure someone had dialled 999.

"A young girl was also straight on the scene, I think she was the one that dialled 999. There was also two cars that got out and helped one travelling north and one south. As well as three people that live on the junction."

He said the motorcyclist did not appear to be in a serious condition after the crash when the ambulance crew took over.

The man wants to thank those who stopped to help - but was disgusted at the attitude of some "impatient" motorists.

"Thankfully she seemed OK but the ambulance crew took over so hopefully nothing too serious," he said.

"What I would like to say though is thank you to the other cars that stopped to help, between us I think we did a good job, however I was appalled at the amount self-centred people that seemed to be put out by having to wait in a bit of traffic."

He said that in ten or so minutes before police arrived, people started trying to filter traffic around the scene of the accident, while the woman was still lying on the ground.

And he said people ignored the instruction to stop.

"It was a tricky scene with the car that was involved in the incident still in the middle of the road as we thought it best not to move until the police arrived so it was single file traffic routing around the car all the time dealing with the injured lady and people just appeared to not give a damn as clearly there journey was far more important.

"That was someone's daughter/mum/sister/gran lying on the side of the road in what could have been a serious condition, thankfully she wasn't but still, have some compassion people.

"If you are the lady injured or know her please pass on my regards, she was very calm considering what had just happened."
