Sunday April 12, 1998

LONDON (Reuters) - British comedy actor Rik Mayall was in  intensive care Saturday after suffering serious head injuries  during a quad bike accident.  

Mayall, best known for his role as the virginal anarchist  Rick in the hit television series ``The Young Ones,'' was in  stable condition, said a spokeswoman for Derriford Hospital in  the town of Plymouth, southwestern England.  

The accident happened at Mayall's Devon home Thursday when  the 39-year-old father of three became trapped under his  four-wheeled motorcycle after it turned over.  

Mayall's other sitcom credits include ``The New Statesmen''  and ``Bottom.''
