Police search for witnesses after road crash

The incident happened at 5.10pm on October 16 on Bradley Road at the junction with Upper Quarry Road.

A blue coloured Renault Megane was travelling along Bradley Road and was turning right onto Upper Quarry Road when it and the motorbike - an Aprilia Dorsoduru 750cc model - were in collision.

The motorbike was being ridden along Bradley Road in the opposite direction to the Megane. The male motorcyclist - who is from Mirfield - was taken to Leeds General Infirmary where his condition was described as critical but stable.

PC Alan Wilson said: “I would appeal for any witnesses to the incident to contact myself in the Western Area Safer Roads and Neighbourhood Support Team on 101.”
