POLICE are appealing for witnesses following a road traffic collision in Leeds in which a man was seriously injured.
At 2.06pm yesterday (Thursday, December 15), emergency services were called to the collision involving a blue Ford EcoSport SUV and a stationary unoccupied double-decker bus on the A658 Pool Bank New Road, near to the junction with Old Lane.
The bus was parked at a bus stop at the time of the collision and the car was heading southbound away from the direction of the Dyneley Arms crossroads.
A 69-year-old man, who was a passenger in the Ford, received serious injuries and remains in hospital. The driver, a 51-year-old man, received minor injuries.
The collision caused extensive damage to both vehicles and a road closure was put in place until 10.45pm so the scene could be examined and cleared.
Officers are keen to hear from anyone who witnessed the collision or the circumstances leading up to it, particularly anyone with relevant dashcam footage.
Anyone with information is asked to contact officers via 101 quoting reference 13220687504 or online at www.westyorkshire.police.uk/101livechat
