We’re appealing for witnesses and dashcam footage following a serious collision on Blakey Ridge in Kirkbymoorside.
It happened at 1.40pm on Saturday 26 October and involved a black Suzuki motorcycle and a grey Kia Niro car.
The motorcycle was travelling north towards Castleton, and the Kia was travelling south towards Kirkbymoorside.
The motorcycle rider, a 77-year-old man from York, was taken to hospital with life-changing injuries, where he remains in stable condition.
The occupants of the Kia were uninjured.
The road was closed for a number of hours while we investigated the scene and to allow the vehicles involved to be recovered.
We’re appealing for any witnesses to the collision, anyone who may have seen the vehicles prior to the collision, or anyone with relevant dashcam footage, to contact us.
Please email [email protected] if you can help.
Alternatively, you can call North Yorkshire Police on 101 and pass information to the Force Control Room.
