The incident happened on Merstone Lane, near the junction with the main road into Rookley. Police closed the road in both directions while emergency services attended the scene. A spokesperson for Hampshire and Isle of Wight Constabulary said the motorcyclist sustained a 'potentially serious injury' in the crash, which is not life threatening or life changing. No injuries were reported on the bus and the road was later reopened. Southern Vectis has been contacted for a statement.
