Officers are appealing for witnesses or anyone with dashcam footage to come forward as they investigate a road traffic collision on Portland.

Dorset Police received a report at 6.25pm on Thursday 14 August 2025 that a red Yamaha R6CC motorcycle collided with two parked vehicles – a red Suzuki S-Cross and a black Nissan Qashqui – in Harbour View Road.
