A MOTORCYCLIST is still fighting for his life in hospital after a crash on a North Yorkshire road.

The 62-year-old victim was riding a silver Honda CBR when he was involved in a collision with a blue Kia Sorento on the B1257 between Stokesley and Helmsley at about 2.30pm on Sunday.

He was airlifted to James Cook Memorial Hospital in Middlesbrough, where he remains in a critical condition.

The driver and passenger in the Kia were both uninjured in the crash at a left-hand bend near the Laskill junction.
