Police are appealing for witnesses after a motorcyclist was seriously injured in a crash on the A371 near Shepton Mallet on Saturday afternoon.
The collision happened between Shepton and the junction with Ham Lane, near Croscombe, and led to a full road closure while emergency services responded.
The road was reopened shortly before 6pm, but police say the rider was taken to hospital with serious but not life-threatening injuries.
Officers are now urging anyone who saw the crash, or who may have dashcam footage from the area at the time, to come forward.
A spokesperson for Avon and Somerset Police said: "We're keen to hear from anyone who witnessed the incident or has relevant dashcam footage. Your information could help us understand exactly what happened."
Anyone with information is asked to call 101, or contact the police online.
