Police are appealing for witnesses and information following a serious collision that occurred on Keighley Road in Skipton last night (12th August).
It happened at approximately 7:10pm outside the Bay Horse Pub near McDonald's and involved a blue Honda motorcycle, ridden by a local man in his 30s, who was airlifted to hospital with serious injuries.
