Cyclist taken to hospital after being hit by motorist on A64 York Road

West Yorkshire Police were called just after 8am to a stretch of road by The Shaftesbury.

The incident involved a cyclist and a motorist in a silver Ford car.

The cyclist, a 36-year-old man, was taken to hospital for treatment.

York Road has reopened, but the condition of the man is not yet known.

A West Yorkshire Police spokesman said: "Anyone who witnessed the collision is asked to contact officers via 101 quoting log number 289 of February 7 or online via www.westyorkshire.police.uk/101livechat."

It is the second time police have been called to a serious crash on York Road in three days.

A motorcyclist and passenger were involved in a crash on the same road after failing to stop for police on Tuesday.

A 29-year-old man was arrested after a motorbike collided with a Suzuki car at the junction of York Road and Osmondthorpe Lane.
