EAST YORKS: A 13-year-old cyclist suffered serious injuries and was airlifted to hospital after a collision with a motorbike.
The boy was with two friends on the A166 in Stamford Bridge on Saturday when the accident happened.
Yorkshire Air Ambulance airlifted him to Leeds General Infirmary where he was said to be in a "serious, but stable" condition. The crash closed the A166 and traffic was diverted.
A police spokesman said the boy's injuries were not thought to be life-threatening.
The 35-year-old man on the bike, who is from Driffield, was thrown from his machine. He was taken to York Hospital with minor injuries, a police spokesman said.
The road was closed following the crash at 12.45pm on Saturday while police examined the scene. Any witnesses are asked to call PC Martin Usher on 0845 6060247.
