Hope for crash pillion rider
A MOTORCYCLE passenger left fighting for his life has been taken off the critical list.
Scott Lomax, 29, received emergency treatment and was in a critical condition at Blackpool Victoria Hospital after the black Yamaha R6 he was on the back of hit a parked car.
However, Mr Lomax's condition improved over the weekend. A police spokesman said: "His condition is now described as comfortable."
The incident occurred just before 11pm on Friday at the junction of Highfield Road and Southworth Avenue, South Shore.
Mr Lomax sustained a head injury and internal bleeding after damaging his pelvis.
Lee Michael O'Neil, 26, who was driving the Yamaha, suffered a foot injury and has since been released from hospital.
Investigations into the cause of the incident are ongoing and police are appealing for witnesses.
