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.

The road was closed until 12.30am to allow for detailed investigation work.
A police spokesperson said:
“We would like to hear from anyone who witnessed the collision, saw the motorcycle being ridden in Skipton prior to the incident, or who has relevant dash-cam or CCTV footage from the town centre or surrounding areas that could assist our investigation.
“Please contact mark.patterson@northyorkshire.police.uk or call North Yorkshire Police on 101, quoting reference 12250151351.”
