Police are appealing for information after a collision left a cyclist with life threatening injuries.
Emergency services were called at shortly after 8.30pm on Friday (January 24th) following the collision between a pedal cycle and a van on the A6 at Catterall between The Avenue and Old Lancaster Road.
The van, a Peugeot, was travelling north when it collided with the back of the cycle, a Carrera racing bike.
The cyclist, a man in his 30s, was thrown from the bike and suffered a serious head injury. He is currently in a critical condition in hospital.
The van stopped at the scene.

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