Waikato police are seeking witnesses of a "serious" crash that occurred on State Highway 39 south west of Hamilton on Thursday afternoon.

A motorcycle and car collided near Rice and Allcock Roads just after 2pm.

The rider is in critical condition in Waikato Hospital and the driver of the vehicle is uninjured.

A Waikato man, who was fourth on the scene, said the motorcyclist was travelling south and was riding a registered dirt bike.

Police are seeking witnesses, particularly the driver of a small silver hatchback.

"We believe the vehicle was following directly behind the motorcycle before it crashed and that the driver was a man wearing an orange hi-vis vest," senior constable Mark Strongman said.

"Additionally, we are looking for the occupants of a vehicle belonging to an insulation installation company that was also in the area at the time."

"These people are being sought solely as witnesses and could greatly help our investigation."
