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 on Sunday 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.
