Cyclist injured on motorway slip road

    Police are appealing for witnesses following a collision on the slip road of the M1 in which a cyclist was seriously injured.

    The incident took place at junction 47 for Aberford in Leeds at about 10.45am on Tuesday 29 January. A white Ford Transit van collided with a male cyclist on the roundabout at the top of the northbound exit slip road.

    West Yorkshire Police said the cyclist suffered serious and potentially life-threatening injuries as a result of the collision and was taken to hospital by air ambulance.
