Biker hurt in crash on B1222 between Cawood and Kelfield
8:08am Wednesday 17th March 2010 in
A BIKER is fighting for his life in hospital after he came off the road and crashed into a ditch near Cawood.
The 46-year-old man, who is from nearby Kelfield, was riding his Triumph Tiger motorbike along the B1222 between Cawood and Kelfield when he left the road and went into the ditch at about 10.50am yesterday.
The emergency services were called and the Yorkshire Air Ambulance scrambled, although it was the Great North Air Ambulance which took the job over when the first helicopter was diverted elsewhere.
The doctor with the Great North Air Ambulance treated the rider at the scene before he was airlifted to Pinderfields Hospital in Wakefield with what have been described as “very serious injuries” to his chest, legs and arms.
The Press understands he suffered two punctured lungs in the crash and possibly other internal injuries.
The road was shut while police examined the scene of the crash.
