AN elderly York man who was injured in a crash on the A1079 remains in a serious condition in hospital.

A North Yorkshire Police spokesman said the 82-year-old, whose Ford Focus collided with a green tipper lorry at about 6.30am on Tuesday, had to be taken by helicopter to Leeds General Infirmary.

The spokesman said police still wanted to speak to anyone who saw the incident, particularly the driver of a silver lorry, which was directly behind the green truck.

Anyone with information should phone 0845 6060247, or Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555111.
