A man is fighting for his life in hospital after a crash in Catterall.

Emergency services were called to the A6 at Catterall between The Avenue and Old Lancaster Road after a collision between a bicycle and a van at around 8.30pm yesterday (24 January).[9] The van, a Peugeot, was heading north and collided with the back of a Carrera racing bike. The man, in his 30s, came off the bike and is in hospital in a critical condition after suffering serious head injuries.

The van stopped at the scene. Police have launched an investigation into the incident and are appealing for witnesses. Sgt Pete Fyans, of the Road Policing Unit, said: "This collision has left a man with some very serious injuries, and I would appeal to anyone who witnessed the incident itself or who has any CCTV, dashcam, Ring doorbell or mobile footage to get in touch.

"I am also keen to speak to anyone who saw the cyclist in the moments prior to the collision."
