A MOTORCYCLIST was airlifted to hospital following a road traffic collision in Powys at the weekend.

The single-vehicle crash occurred on the busy A470 near the Storey Arms in the Brecon Beacons/Bannau Brycheiniog just after 4pm on Saturday, March 14.

It is believed the road was shut for only a short time following the incident.

“Dyfed-Powys Police received a call from the ambulance service at just after 4pm on Saturday 14 March, regarding a single vehicle road traffic collision involving a motorcyclist on the A470, between Libanus and Nant-Ddu,” said the force.
