Original release 2.40pm, 22 June:
A 28-year-old man has been arrested in connection with a collision which left a woman in her 20s with serious injuries.
A black and orange motorcycle and its rider were in collision with a woman as she crossed the road at Coleridge Gardens in St Giles, Lincoln at around 9pm on Friday 17 June.
The woman was thrown in the air and the rider of the motorcycle then lost control of the bike before colliding with a parked car. The woman is being treated in hospital for serious head injuries and other injuries to her body.
Following extensive enquiries by our Roads Policing Unit (RPU) and Lincoln Neighbourhood Policing Team (NPT), we arrested a 28-year-old man at around 9.45am this morning (22 June) at an address in Lincoln.
He has been arrested on suspicion of dangerous driving causing serious injury, failing to stop at a collision, and driving with no insurance. He remains in police custody.
Our enquiries are continuing. There was a large group of people who we believe witnessed this collision and may also have phone footage of the incident, or other information to share, and we would encourage them to come forward.

A restaurant in uphill Lincoln is opening a shisha lounge at the premises, the first of its kind in the city.
Marrakesh Restaurant on Lincoln’s Bailgate opened in October 2020, serving Mediterranean and Moroccan food such as tagine and mixed grills for customers to enjoy.
Since then, owner Afi Eliddri has been seeking to expand his business into a market not currently explored by other businesses in Lincoln – in the form of shisha bars.

Marrakesh will be opening a shisha lounge inside the restaurant, offering something completely unique to the city as nowhere else in Lincoln boasts access to shisha.
The shisha lounge will officially open on Friday, July 1 from midday, remaining available until 11pm seven days a week.

Shisha is a molasses-based tobacco product that is heated in a hookah water pipe, which you inhale through and vaporise smoke with.
It is an emerging trend that has expanded exponentially in the UK in recent years, having originally dated back to medieval India.

Afi told The Lincolnite: “As well as the really nice food, great service and good atmosphere, we introduced the shisha lounge for a more diverse age range in our customers.
“It will definitely cater for a younger audience and we’re excited to get started with it.”
Open seven days a week between 12pm and 11pm. | Photo: Ellis Karran for The Lincolnite
The hookah is placed outdoors in the garden, and Marrakesh owners say it will be a nice addition alongside the Moroccan food and Arabic-style bar, with food available to eat indoors and outdoors.
Marrakesh will be open from 12pm to 11pm, with times possibly varying on weekends, and you can order food or book a table from the restaurant’s website.
Multiple hookah pipes are on-site, meaning more people can enjoy the experience. | Photo: Ellis Karran for The Lincolnite
