    A motorcyclist is in hospital with serious injuries after a crash in the Harrogate district last night.

    The collision, which occurred at the junction of the A61 Harrogate Road and Weeton Lane, involved a black Range Rover and a Yamaha motorcycle.

    It occurred at about 7.30pm.

    North Yorkshire Police is appealing for witnesses and information about the incident.

    In a statement this morning it said:

    "Unfortunately, the rider of the motorcycle suffered serious but not life-threatening injuries and was transferred to hospital where they remain in a stable condition.
    "A stretch of Harrogate Road was closed for around two hours in both directions to allow for an initial investigation and vehicle recovery."


    Anyone with information or dashcam footage of the collision or the events leading up to the collision can email adam.smith@northyorkshire.police.uk, or contact North Yorkshire Police on 101, select option 2, and ask for Adam Smith.

    Quote the North Yorkshire Police reference number 12220103906.
