PRAYERS are being sought for a 26-year-old who was seriously injured in a motorbike accident at the weekend.

Matthew Coalter, from Enniskillen, was involved in a road traffic collision at the Silgo Road area of Letterbreen on Sunday.

Brookeborough Elim Church said that Mr. Coalter is currently on a life support machine in the Royal Victoria Hospital.

A prayer appeal has been launched by the church on social media, which read: "The next few days are critical for this young man who’s only 26.

"We need a miracle! So we appreciate everyone who will connect with this post, but even more we request for you to seriously pray to God for Matthew.

"Please pass this on to other praying people and prayer groups. The family would much appreciate all prayers at this time."

It is understood the collision on Sunday involved a Volkswagen Tiguan and a Suzuki motorbike.
