Scarborough Police are appealing for witnesses following a crash involving a motorbike and a car in the town centre this afternoon.
Officers and ambulance crews attended the scene in Northway at the roundabout, which is the junction of Northway, Columbus Ravine and Gladstone Road, at around 3.15pm.
A male motorcyclist suffered a serious ankle injury and was taken to Scarborough Hospital in the collision which involved a black Honda X11 and a black Ford Fiesta.
