A MOTORCYCLIST has been injured in a crash on the A1(M) northbound this morning.

West Yorkshire Police said it was called to the collision between junctions 43 (Hook Moor) and 44 (Bramham) at 7.55am.

A spokesman for the force added: "It appears to have been a collision between a car and a motorbike, the male rider of which suffered a none life threatening leg injury."

Lane four was closed and the incident caused long delays on the northbound carriageway.

The lane has since reopened.
