Zack Wesson, 21 from Fareham, was one of the bikers caught up in the crash.

He said: ‘The van in front of us braked for something – I hit my brakes and the other bike crashed into the back of me.

‘My legs are a bit screwed up but I’m more worried about my mate.

‘He’s been in the ambulance since it turned up and the paramedics are taking care of him.’
