A young biker is fighting for his life after a collision with a car near Skelton.
The 24-year-old man suffered serious multiple injuries following the collision and went into cardiac arrest at the scene.
Paramedics from the rapid response team and the Great North Air Ambulance attended and treated the man before he was flown to Middlesbrough’s James Cook University Hospital.
His condition today continues to be described as “critical”.
The motorbike was in collision with a Nissan Quasqai car at Four Lane End on Marske Lane, near the junction of the A174 just after 11am yesterday.

“The motorcyclist had serious multiple injuries and went into cardiac arrest at the scene.
He was treated by paramedics from the rapid response team and the air ambulance.
