A TRAIN smashed into a motorbike after it was left on the railway line between Weston-Super-Mare and Highbridge.

The bike was left on the line on Wednesday June 15, causing the train to crash into it, leading to a brief closure of the line.

Delays were reported between Bristol Temple Meads and Taunton for around 20 minutes, and several trains were delayed.

The object was removed from the tracks by National Rail.
