A 16-YEAR-OLD boy is in a critical condition after a crash between an off-road motorbike and a car in Dundee.
Shortly after 7.35pm on Saturday the motorbike, being ridden by the teen, collided with a grey Fiat 500 in Fintry Drive.
The boy was treated at the scene by paramedics before being taken to Ninewells Hospital where he is now fighting for his life.
The 66-year-old woman, who was driving the Fiat 500, was uninjured.
The road was closed for around five hours to allow an investigation to be undertaken.

Constable Christopher Williams is appealing for anyone with information.
He said: “Our inquiries are ongoing, and at this time we believe three off-road electric motorbikes had been seen in the area at the time shortly before the incident.
“Anyone who was in the Fintry Drive area around the time of the incident, particularly anyone with dashcam or mobile phone footage, should contact Police Scotland on 101."
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
