TWO men have been charged with dangerous driving after a collision involving a Porsche and a high-powered motorbike.

The accident, which police described as serious, happened on the southbound A419 in Swindon at about 4pm on April 8.

At the time, the motorbike rider was taken to Swindon's Great Western Hospital and the Porsche Boxster driver was arrested on suspicion of dangerous driving at the scene.

Police issued an appeal for witnesses.

PC Phil Stayning, from Swindon police, said: "An unprecedented number of witnesses came forward to assist police."

The men will appear before Swindon Magistrates' Court in July.
