North Yorkshire Police is appealing for witnesses and information about a collision that occurred at York Hospital.

It happened outside the multi-storey car park within the grounds of the hospital shortly after 3.45pm on Monday 20 November, and involved a red Citroen C1 and a bicycle.

The cyclist, a local man in his forties, was taken into the hospital for treatment for back injuries, where he remains in a stable condition.

The driver of the Citroen, a 17-year-old local woman, was uninjured.

Access to the multi-storey car park was closed for a period of time to allow emergency services to attend, and officers to examine the scene safely. We appreciate the significant delays this may have caused and thank the public for their understanding and patience.

We are requesting the public’s assistance to help establish the full circumstances surrounding the incident. In particular, we are appealing for witnesses to the collision, or dashcam footage of the car or cyclist prior to the collision.

Anyone with information that could assist the investigation should contact PC Jack Dodsworth of the Road Policing Group by email, Jack.Dodsworth@northyorkshire.police.uk. You can also call North Yorkshire Police on 101, select option 2, and ask for Jack Dodsworth. If you wish to remain anonymous, you can pass information to Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111. Please quote the North Yorkshire Police reference number 12230220926.
