A MOTORCYCLIST is fighting for his life after a collision with a car towing a caravan on a North Yorkshire road.
The crash happened at about 2.30pm yesterday on the B1257 between Stokesley and Helmsley, with the 62-year-old motorbike rider, who is from Driffield, being airlifted to James Cook Memorial Hospital in Middlesbrough with what police described as “very serious, life-threatening injuries”.
He was riding a silver Honda CBR and heading away from Stokesley, colliding with a blue Kia Sorento which was travelling in the opposite direction at a left-hand bend close to the Laskill junction.
The driver and passenger in the Kia, who are from Billingham, near Middlesbrough, were uninjured. Anybody who saw the collision or either vehicle before the crash should phone North Yorkshire Police's Thirsk road policing unit on 0845 6060 247.
